concatenating md have a page-break between in resulting docx?

concatenating md have a page-break between in resulting docx?

[Joseph Reagle]

There might be some hacks I can resort to in [1], but does anyone have a simple solution for ensuring there's a page break between the two sources in the docx file?


```

pandoc -f markdown+footnotes -i 0-01-reagle-koerner.md -i 1-01-reagle.md -o test.docx

```

I could do this in the shell/script, but I assume there's no inbuilt way to append a file like page-break.md to *each* of the input files, rather than the output file?
 

╰─➤  cat page-break.md
```{=openxml}
<w:p> <w:r> <w:br w:type="page"/> </w:r> </w:p>
```

```
╭─reagle@hom ~/joseph/2019/09

1-chap.md 2-chap.md

You could create a file which contains only the page break code and use
some shell script or Makefile trickery to insert it between the other input
file arguments. You could also use a shell script (untested!)

echo "" > concat.md

for arg in "$@"
do
    if [ ${arg: -3} == ".md" ]
    then
      cat $arg break.md >> concat.md
    fi
done

pandoc concat.md -o output.docx

rm concat.md

Yes, I've been doing something like that:

```
 for f in *-*-*.md; do cat $f page-break.md; done > test.md
```

Number concatenated chapters (Was: concatenating md have a page-break between in resulting docx?)

In addition to adding page breaks between the chapters, I'd like to have the title (first level-1 heading, in this case) prefixed with an chapter number taken from the file name. I want to do this dynamically, as I might rename/resort/reorganize the files based on their names.

So, for example, `1-01-reagle.md` is the first chapter in the first section, and could have '1.' prefixed to its first heading. In looking at filters, especially panflute, all the examples are of stand-alone filters that are stateless between invocations...

```
0-01-reagle-koerner.md			
1-00-hindsight.md			    
1-01-reagle.md				    
1-02-benjakob-harrison.md		
1-03-hill-shaw.md
```

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure whether my thought will be distracting or helpful.

Based on your comments so far, it seems that your ultimate objective might 
be to publish a book from a source collection of one chapter per source 
document.  

Page breaks between chapters are a normal formatting feature of book-style 
output.  If you could pre-filter the source such that the header levels are 
shifted right and the file information is then applied as the top-level 
header for each resulting sequence of sections, would you be moving closer 
toward a desired outcome?

At this moment, I cannot propose a good way to achieve the above, but 
depending on your needs it may be worth considering, especially if someone 
else can suggest an existing feature that supports it.

Ultimately, the specific problem you describe is more difficult than you 
would hope because formatting features such as page breaks are generally 
determined by the logical structure of the input document applied to the 
physical design of the output document.

If you are able to utilize this design by slightly shifting your approach, 
you might have more fun and less pain.

Of course it would be even simpler if the source already had the needed 
structure, but it seems you have external constraints or preferences that 
restrict this possibility.

I'm not sure if you're artificially complicating matters. Both things can 
be achieved simply by modifying your reference-doc heading styles, having 
first level heading include a pagebreak before, and being numbered. Then 
you can put any name to the files (numbers if you like for sorting), and 
all your chapters will be sensibly numbered (independently of what the name 
of the original file was).

Hello,

My pre-processing lua filter might give a hint for you.
https://github.com/pandocker/pandocker-lua-filters/blob/master/lua/preprocess.lua
(I know this filter implement is not great. PR welcome btw )

1. make another md file ("base.md" for example) to include files by your
order like:

``` markdown
# #include "0-01-reagle-koerner.md"
# #include "1-00-hindsight.md"
# #include "1-01-reagle.md"
# #include "1-02-benjakob-harrison.md"
# #include "1-03-hill-shaw.md"
```

2. let pandoc process with base.md and the filter
pandoc -t docx --lua-filter=preprocess.lua base.md -o out.docx

3. the out.docx is equivalent to concatenated files by your order

Thank you, that requires me to add `\newpage` to my files (rather than as an option on input file processing) but that's easy enough. And when I don't use the filter, it looks like the latex command is ignored.

Two asides:

1. For lua filters, why not use the same `-F`/`--filters` option? 

I know lua is internal and the other is json-based, but couldn't pandoc figure it out?

2. When I accidentally used `--filter`, I get a confusing message:

```
╰─➤  pandoc --filter=pagebreak.lua --toc -i 1-chap.md 2-chap.md -s -o test.docx
Error running filter /Users/reagle/.pandoc/filters/pagebreak.lua:

```

It is there, it'd be nicer if it said "if a lua file, use --lua-filter."

That would work except for the fact that a JSON filter *could* be written
in Lua and there probably are such filters out there. I thought there used
to be an -L option but I can't find it anymore so perhaps -L can be
repurposed as a synonym of --lua-filter. (Which reminds me I ought to
update my default-options wrapper script to reflect the current set of
options!)

-L for --lua-filter?

[John MacFarlane]

I wouldn't mind adding -L as a synonym for --lua-filter.
Would others welcome that?  Any problems you can see?
