Thank You for the ever improving org-mode parser. Org-mode is in general difficult since it's a bit of a moving target, so I'm surprised that it's so well supported!
Not sure if I'll ever find the time, but I'd like to make the org-parser less useful for Emacs users. The idea is to write an org exporter which produces pandoc's AST JSON format; all Emacs Org settings would be respected that way, the detour through pandoc's parser would no longer be necessary, and remaining parser incompatibilities wouldn't matter for users exporting from Emacs through pandoc. Well, some day...
That will be great. Org’s greatest power it’s also a weakness – coupling with Emacs. I mean it’s great in all aspects except getting other people to use it.
Pandocs makes it possible/bearable to interact with rest of the world (I’m in the process of moving more things to org).
Being able to export directly to pandoc’s AST Json will probably allow to avoid using other programs to edit content at all! I’ll wait for this day to come; perhaps I’ll even learn enough Elisp to contribute untill then. ;)
