panflute

Interesting idea re:internal links. For sufficiently complex issues of this nature, pandoc filters[0] are a powerful tool for this kind of mid-conversion processing. I've made some cool projects with the Python package panflute[1] [0] https://pandoc.org/filters.html [1] https://github.com/sergiocorreia/panflute

Is there a reason for relying on pandocfilters instead of on Panflute [1]? I would think that panflute would allow for more readable code, which helps whendealing with all the corner cases and rough edges of latex. [1] https://github.com/sergiocorreia/panflute

Are you using py3 exclusive features? If you are not, then you are not really using python 3 (tuple unpacking, etc.) If you want to do both, then you need pasteurize, and end up with a travis mess: https://github.com/sergiocorreia/panflute/blob/master/.travi... To be honest, for me the morale of the story is that supporting py2 is just not worth it. I am not going to use it, so why support it at all?

I've been an extensive Pandoc user and wrote my thesis, website, etc. on Markdown. However, extending it was hard, as you either had to a) learn haskell, or b) learn the Pandoc internals in order to use pandocfilters [1]. To solve this, I wrote Panflute, a Python package that allows anyone to extend Pandoc's Markdown with a bit of Python code. You can use it for simple stuff such as creating tables of contents, or more advanced stuff like CSV tables [2], output from external programs [3] (so you can fetch online data), and many things. It's Pythonic, open source [4], and hopefully useful if you like Markdown :) [1] https://github.com/jgm/pandocfilters [2] http://scorreia.com/software/panflute/guide.html#yaml-code-b...
