<p>I tried an alternative approach: drop the Haskell dependency on Pandoc/cmark entirely and use the command-line interface, which I believe is more stable than the Haskell library interface.</p>
<p>I implemented that here: <a class="uri" href="https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/pull/260">https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/pull/260</a></p>
<p>Do you folks think this is a viable option or are there any pitfalls that I'm not seeing? Any feedback highly appreciated.</p>
