i enjoyed reading that, up to the end when the author ponders whether an llm could replace pandoc, despite the inherent shortcomings they listed just before. how sad.

(and no, i don't think this means this should be tagged vibecoding)

Thanks for sharing. This has reminded me that I have a half finished PR to add Moin Moin syntax support as a reader. I’d completely forgotten about it.

Are there alternatives to the inline text syntaxes?
```
'''Bold Text'''        Bold text
''Italic''             Italic
'''''Bold Italic'''''  Bold Italic
`Monospace`            Monospace
```
It seems generating MoinMoin wiki pages programmatically could be a way to teach Python devs everything they need to know for string quoting and doc strings!
