Problems with other markdown plugins #8

I firstly want to thank you for this innovative idea of using Vim as a notebook. Unfortunately I have had some issues setting it up with other markdown plugins which provide needed functionality.

Most recently, I've been using vim-pandoc for using LaTeX conceal and other features in markdown, and tried to use vim-notebook in conjunction. On doing :NotebookStart however the vim-pandoc got disabled. Without using :e it didn't spring back, but doing this killed the kernel in the background.

I've raised the issue in vim-pandoc repo here, on which a member has given a recommendation for dealing with this.

Earlier, I was using plasticboy's vim-markdown instead of vim-pandoc, and there also I was facing a problem. Vim-notebook didn't recognize code-fences to be a markdown code block, and it didn't work even with the 4 space block. Without the vim-markdown plugin, both blocks were being recognized properly by vim-notebook.

Please take a look at these - this plugin's concept is so good that I spent several hours on trying to test and understand it.. I even have several features' request! If I had got better experience with vim langauge, I would have liked to implement them on my own!
