A standalone Vim syntax module for Pandoc's extended Markdown, providing highlighting and conceal features.
vim-pandoc-syntax is a Vim syntax plugin that provides highlighting and conceal features for Pandoc's extended Markdown format.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with vim-pandoc to enhance the editing experience for technical and academic documents.
Vim users who write Markdown documents using Pandoc, particularly academics, technical writers, and developers creating documentation or scholarly articles.
Developers choose vim-pandoc-syntax for its comprehensive support of Pandoc-specific Markdown extensions and its ability to handle multiple embedded languages within a single file. Its configurable options and conceal features offer a tailored and clean editing environment not found in standard Vim Markdown plugins.
