[Discuss] Technology Choices / Approaches

[mmcky]

Here is a summary list of possible approaches to build this tool.

1. a sphinx extension for building msyt files from the sphinx AST
2. custom script to use pandoc for bulk of conversion and then apply secondary adjustments for additional / missing syntax
3. build a pandoc converter extension which uses filters.

Currently I think 3 is the leading contender from a robustness and stability point of view. I know @najuzilu was looking into option 2 based on previous conversion work for quantecon. @najuzilu have you had a chance to review the idea of building some pandoc filters from pandoc AST to myst?
