Use Katex and pandoc markdown

[ianchanning]

This plugin is working wonderfully, but seeing as you're using pandoc to convert the markdown it's a shame not to use pandoc markdown. On top of that there is the wonderful Katex library for displaying LaTeX math in HTML and pandoc has native support for this with the --katex param.

I use the following command to get some beautiful pandoc HTML out:

pandoc -f markdown test.md -o test.html --standalone -t html --katex

Looking at these lines

nvim-markdown-preview/autoload/markdown.vim

Lines 24 to 36 in d7cbefc

	call jobstart([
	\ 'pandoc',
	\ '-f', 'gfm',
	\ input_path,
	\ '-o', s:output_path,
	\ '--standalone',
	\ '-t', 'html',
	\ '--metadata',
	\ 'pagetitle='.filename,
	\ '--include-in-header='.l:stylesheet,
	\ ],
	\ self
	\ )

It looks like you use the GitHub formatted markdown by default. You could also set the markdown --from parameter to be an option.

Hi @ianchanning,

This sounds like a great addition to me! I would be very open to a PR for this feature if you're feeling up to it.
