Org to Markdown PHP_extra

Org to Markdown PHP_extra

[Devin Prater]

Hi all. I’m attempting to move from org-mode exported HTML in Moodle courses I manage to simple, easily updated markdown, which I hope will be as powerful to write as Org-mode. Moodle, for some reason, uses PHP Markdown, instead of Pandoc Markdown or even Multi-markdown. So, we do have definition lists, thankfully, but the <aside> element is made, from Org-mode, to the <div> with simply the class of aside, markdown =“1”. The only problem is, screen readers, which is why I use <aside> anyway, for blind people like myself to know that something is a note. This helps audit-orally separate notes from the main text, and probably does something visual too. I’d like this to simply be <aside markdown=“1”>
Input:

* Test of aside conversion to Markdown
This is a paragraph.

#+begin_aside
This is a /note/.
#+end_aside
End of test.

Output:

Test of aside conversion to Markdown {#test-of-aside-conversion-to-markdown}
====================================

This is a paragraph.

<div class="aside" markdown="1">

This is a *note*.

</div>

End of test.


I hope this makes sense. I’m not a programmer, just the one in a million blind person that actually cares about formatting.

This should be possible to fix with a Lua filter. If, as is likely,
Pandoc's org reader converts the org asides into divs with a class "aside"
a filter can "catch" those divs and insert the necessary raw HTML before
and after their content. I have attached a filter which should do the trick
if the Pandoc internal document data created by the org reader are as I
think they are. Usage instructions can be found at the top of the file.
Please let me know if this solves your problem. Quite likely you will get
blank lines between the opening and closing aside tags and the text between
them, but those should be harmless.

-- div-to-aside.lua
--
-- Pandoc filter which converts divs with an "aside" class into HTML `<aside>` elements.
--
-- To use it place the filter file in the folder you are running pandoc from and add 
-- "--lua-filter=div-to-aside.lua" (without the quotes) to the pandoc command line.

local List = assert(
  pandoc.List or require"pandoc.List",
  "Couldn't find pandoc.List"
)

local open_aside = pandoc.RawBlock('html', '<aside>')
local close_aside = pandoc.RawBlock('html', '</aside>')

function Div (div)
  -- Do nothing unless we have an "aside" class
  if not div.classes:includes("aside") then return nil end
  -- Initialize the list to be returned
  -- with the opening aside tag
  local aside = List:new{open_aside}
  -- Add the contents of the div
  aside:extend(div.content)
  -- Add the closing aside tag
  aside:extend{close_aside}
  -- replace the div with the aside
  return aside
end
