Hi,

As Matthias said, I have more or less the same purpose as Doug, namely, 
create academic document using IPython. If you want to replace marked 
markdown rendering by pandoc ones, I have investigated a bit.

I have a draft of notebook with all ingredients making things works ( 
except the javascript linking .. but if you are interrested in I can 
help). Basicaly, rendering a IPython cell with Pandoc needs just a very 
easy filter (written in python) and , of course, put the rendering in 
server side. But you gain all the Pandoc markdown functionnality (A lot 
of !). Also, doing that, you are sure that nbconvert and interactive 
session render the same way.

In practice, this hack could be shaped into an IPython extension, that 
monkey patch the current IPython mardown renderer.


About, converting pandoc in javascript, well, I tried and encountered 
some problem ( I am not expert in Haskwell environment, nor in 
emscripten ...), so right now I cannot say if possible ( I suppose 
anyway ) nor usable ( speed ? ). But it would be great isnt it ;-)
