I am new to r markdown and pandoc but not Rstudio.  Can anyone provide a 
more explicit treatment of the use of the filter code?
As stated, I am using Rstudio and would like to create a filter 
'pandoc-word-pagebreak' which would incorporate the replacement of 
'\newpage' in my r markdown file with the appropriate xml.
I have tried copying 
~~~{.haskell}
pgBrkXml :: String
pgBrkXml = "<w:p><w:r><w:br w:type=\"page\"/></w:r></w:p>"

pgBrkBlock :: Block
pgBrkBlock = RawBlock (Format "openxml") pgBrkXml
~~~ 
~~~
insertPgBrks :: Block -> Block
insertPgBrks (Para [Str "\newpage"]) = pgBrkBlock
insertPgBrks blk = blk

main = toJSONFilter insertPgBrks
~~~ 

into a text file titled pandoc-word-pagebreak in the working folder and 
called using 

word_document:
    pandoc_args: [
      "--filter", "pandoc-word-pagebreak"
    ]
in the header but to no avail.
Clearly the syntax for the filter is not correct.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Joel
