vimwiki and pandoc

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I love vimwiki and use it daily up to 14 hours!

Sometimes I need besides HTML and PDF[1] other formats, mostly DocBook-XML and 
RTF and EPUB. I copy the vimwiki-page and convert it by hand to markdown, which 
will be processed to DocBook-XML and RTF and EPUB with pandoc[2].
Any idea to avoid the by-hand-conversion to markdown?

[1] For HTML to PDF I use http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ 
[2] http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demos.html

I also aim to start writing wiki pages in reStructuredText. 
However Vimwiki markup is hardcoded to some extent. 
We need to explore how to make it possible to switch wiki-markup-syntaxes 
easily.

By the way, markdown uses a syntax quite similar to vimwiki, but it cannot 
really be said of reST, the differences are much larger there. Given that 
Vimwiki can only process the default syntax now, it is very unlikely it could 
support natively all the functions for many other similar syntaxes, unless more 
people volunteer to do some work. There is some work on Markdown support being 
done:

Having a conversion from Vimwiki-default to other systems would be highly 
desirable, of course, and probably easier to do than full editing support. 
Especially reST and Markdown seem to be fairly popular.

VST : Vim reStructured Text http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1334
is perfect for those wishing to use reST.

There is a 'pandoc' branch. I believe it would be merged into main vimwiki some 
day.

Markdown is supported too.
