Not only for Markdown #9

Did you thought about generalizing this library in order to not work only with markdown?

The atom package including this library is the only mindmapping tool i found for atom and has potential. Also you splitted the functionality into modules that are allowing that easily i think?

I thought about a line based mind map description language and did not found something easy to write and well versionizable with git. So i just implemented an own parser (#8) and that worked well. I could do that for LaTeX headers (sections and so on) too but I'm not that familiar with your atom package source code in order to include that.

Yeah, it definitely crossed my mind. There is a prototype parse.pandoc.js that uses pandoc which supports tons of formats. I did not get to integrating it into the atom package because I haven't found a reliable way to include pandoc as a dependency.

@dundalek ,I have a thought that we could integrate it into Rmarkdown in Rstudio which have already included pandoc as a dependency. So we can render a Rmarkdown file into a mindmap format such as html,pdf or doc.

@seifer08ms If Rstudio supports javascript modules it should be possible to create such extension. Markmap is designed to be easily embedded, I use it in web apps as well as an extension for Atom editor.
