Thanks, Rik.

Not using Pandoc. I was using Pandoc up until 2020:

https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/05/22/typesetting-markdown-part-1/

I've since authored KeenWrite <https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite>,
which uses flexmark-java <https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java> to
generate XHTML documents from Markdown. The only additions I've made to the
library is to add support for Pandoc's annotation syntax (:::).

That said, I'm also a firm believer in not duplicating information. The
information (file name extension) is already available in the documents, so
adding a classification on top of the extension feels redundant.

Thanks for the suggestion!
