Creating document fragments is the default for HTML in Pandoc, you'd have 
to use the `--standalone` option to force it to create complete documents 
with header and footer. So that should meet your requirements.

I don't know about indentation of the resulting HTML, much less so about 
your preferred indentation. But this is easy to find out and might be 
helped by post-processing if it doesn't meet your expectations?

I also cannot comment on Geany, but most editors have a way of running an 
external command on the current buffer or selected text.

I have a recurring need where I write markdown documents using my favorite 
editor, Geany, and then need to convert them to partial HTML documents. 
Partial because they lack the HTML file preamble and instead just start 
with <div> and end with the matching </div>. 

Each document contains one or more "sections", each also beginning with a 
<div> and ending with the matching </div>, and the conversion process 
should be handle the sections, regardless of number. 

I like the resulting (partial) HTML document to use my preferred 
indentation/white-space structure. 

Would pandoc be a good, perhaps the "best", tool for this? I should also 
add that I would like to run the conversion "process" from within Geany.
