Description

But emanote uses commonmark-hs (from same author) to parse Markdown. I'm okay with us switching to parsing with Pandoc. The Wikilink extension, as well as the HashTag extension, would be the main thing to port over.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current Markdown parsing in emanote using commonmark hs, then explore Pandoc's API and how to implement the Wikilink and HashTag extensions in Pandoc. Finally, replace the parser and test thoroughly.
