I will read it. Knowing that both, Pandoc and Pillar share kind of a similar approach would allow me to connect their AST (I mentioned such idea before, but now the path is more clear). The issue I care in this case is not about hot new stuff, but about bridges between cultural practices, ie, people who is using LMLs for documentation and discussing them extensively and people in the Pharo community. I need such bridges myself and I know enough people that could use them. Cheers, Offray
