P.S. Just noticed that pandoc only converts _to_ zim, so on the way back,
you need to use something like export _from_ zim to markdown and then
potentially pandoc to convert from markdown to other formats

... sounds like there is a good plugin proposal here to directly use pandoc
on import / export of data
