This is indeed a decent solution, one which worked for typesetting my thesis
in PDF and HTML. (You get RTF and ODT for free, assuming it doesn't take
much glue to get it to look the way you want). I had to write a wrapper
script to do regular expression parsing to take care of edge cases (pandoc
is written in Haskell, so to 'scripting' the application requires working in
that language; my choice was to do a more hackish approach that used a Ruby
script that generated multiple markdown files)
Aditya, do perhaps know one of these editors with ASCII table mode?
