Thanks for the second link! This is exactly what I meant. EDIT One more question. How do you write dialogues in MD?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but there's nothing special about dialogue in MD. Quotation marks, inner thoughts in italics. "It's just some text between quotation marks", Gabriel typed. *Have I completely misunderstood his question?*
I wrote a little utility that uses Pandoc to read Markdown files like `man` pages in the terminal: https://github.com/ashton314/marked-man It's just a one-liner: `pandoc -s -t man "$1" | groff -T utf8 -man | $PAGER` (That was basically stolen from an answer to one of my questions on Stack Overflow—thanks to those who answered! :)
In a similar vein, I use pandoc to convert markdown pages to man pages, and write new/add notes to manpages. I think it's definitely easier than actually writing groff files.
Pandoc (or latex) + make + iNotifyWait work really well together for WYSIWYG like editing too: watch: $(ALL) while true; do \ clear; \ make $(WATCH); \ inotifywait -qr -e close_write .; \ done "make watch WATCH=build" will now compile documents on every save. Works well for single documents, collections of documents or entire websites.
