I like it because the markup is pretty (and easy and fast to type),
and it's easy to process into multiple formats.

Also, you can tweak pandoc to use a custom html header if you like,
but I generally am pretty happy with the default output.

Yup. Interesting. Here's the intermediate .tex file:
http://www.unexpected-vortices.com/temp/geany/newsletter_2.tex .
There's a `\tableofcontents` directive in there. Maybe if there's a
texpert here they can comment on why there's no ToC in the resulting
pdf.

One nice thing though about having an intermediate .tex file is that
you can tweak it if want something specific and know your way around
LaTeX.
