Pandoc question: toc, lot and lof

Pandoc question: toc, lot and lof

Hi all,
I wanted to ask why there's no global --lot  and --lof options in pandoc as 
it is for --toc?
I want to add both to the docx writer (halfway there) how can I check from 
the option if the user has requested them?

What is your opinion they should be added to the general options?

question n2:
- how can i preprocess the document before the conversion? I need to 
replace a variable taking it from git (I need to extract the latest 
document version and add it to the generated doc file.

Thanks,
Nick

It would be desirable, I think, to have these.
Go ahead and put something up on the issue tracker.

Probably a Lua filter is what you want. See the documentation on Lua filters on the website.

Hi Nick. I don't know about your first question, but for your second I have 
done something similar in my site.

Assuming that the version string comes from the command line at compile 
time, I would pass it in as a variable (-V) and alter the output template 
to decide what to do with it.

In my case, I have a custom HTML template containing

$if(favicon)$ 
   <link rel="icon" href="$favicon$" type="image/icon type">
$endif$

and my invocation of pandoc looks something like this (you could replace 
"/d.png" by a shell expansion)

pandoc -V favicon="/d.png" -f markdown -t html 
--template="custom-template.html"

I don't think this is very flexible, but I'm not sure how to write a filter 
that does it.
