Somebody should take document type conversion from Pandoc and version control from Git

    I’ve been using Quarto a lot for Data Science work and it uses Pandoc under the hood I recall.

    Not sure what you’re envisioning by Pandoc + git, but the RStudio IDE has a git integration and a WYSIWYM Quarto editor.

      Like a data format inhabiting the centre of that conversion graph they have on their website, basically a superset of the available input types, that is then version controlled by git, and can be exported to any of the output formats, in a neat frontend that removes all that complexity from me. :D
