Thank you very much for sharing, that looks very promising.

Pandoc can't run the script though, says it can't find the utils package. I 
installed luarocks and with it lua-utils but the error prevails:

$ pandoc multi-test.md -t html-multi-writer.lua -o output/multi-test.html
Error running Lua:
html-multi-writer.lua:21: module 'utils' not found:
    no field package.preload['utils']
    no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.4/utils.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.4/utils/init.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.4/utils.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.4/utils/init.lua'
    no file './utils.lua'
    no file './utils/init.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.4/utils.so'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.4/loadall.so'
    no file './utils.so'
stack traceback:
    html-multi-writer.lua:21: in main chunk

P.S.: would you consider creating a repository for this work? I would like 
to automate the second stage with bash, shouldn't be too hard.
