    I'm a long time (7 years) contributor to pandoc. Other frequent contributors often drop by here as well. Happy to answer questions, ask us anything.

    Indeed, this shouldn't have been a top comment. It is more a reply to the `org-roam`. Also no, I'm not involved in the development of that app, I just happen to like it. BTW, if yo…
