Just your example filter: ```lua return { { Para = function (elem) if elem.content[1].text == "{{helloworld}}" then return pandoc.RawBlock('html','
abc
') else return elem end end, } } ``` The problematic line is this: return pandoc.RawBlock('html','
abc
') This adds a raw block that will only come in to effect when your output format is html. If your target ist latex, you’ll need something like this: return pandoc.RawBlock('latex','\\whatever{abc}') ```cmd pandoc test.md -L filter.lua -t latex asf \whatever{abc} asf ``` Von: pandoc-discuss-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org Im Auftrag von paulschillinger93-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org Gesendet: Dienstag, 6.

Does that change anything? Could you tell me what exactly you put in filter.lua? Thanks!

I’ve just tested this and it seems to work. ```cmd C:\Users\denis\Downloads\filter>cat test.md asf {{helloworld}} asf C:\Users\denis\Downloads\filter>pandoc test.md

asf

{{helloworld}}

asf

C:\Users\denis\Downloads\filter>pandoc test.md -L filter.lua

asf

abc

I've tried this: return { { Para = function (elem) if elem.content[1].text == "{{helloworld}}" then return pandoc.RawBlock('html','
abc
') else return elem end end, } } but that only gets rid of {{helloworld}}, it doesn't replace it with anything. Sadly this doens't work for "==", i.e. those don't disappear.
