Processing multiple documents on stdin

Processing multiple documents on stdin

[Björn Stenborg]

Our toolchain needs to perform separate markdown -> HTML conversion using 
pandoc for a large number of table cells (for various reasons), which for 
some documents currently entails making thousands of calls to the pandoc 
binary.

It would be really nice to be able to stream multiple documents on stdin to 
pandoc and get separate outputs. This is not currently supported e.g. by 
passing a file separator control character? Are there any other ways to 
achieve this?

We could spin up pandoc as a web server but this would be fairly awkward 
and i assume come with some additional overhead that isn't really needed 
since it will just be used locally anyway.
