Keeping in mind that pandoc is not a reformatter, I nonetheless have occasion to want to convert from markdown to markdown and one other nuisance is my (HTML) comments get quoted and labeled as such in the process; I then can't un-comment them with a single keyboard shortcut in my editor. Is there a way to keep HTML/markdown comments with quotes and label?
