How to process chunkedhtml output with Lua

[ChrisD <cd34-gg-4SSc53hpTiu9TMao6EloiEEOCMrvLtNR@public.gmane.org>]

The thread "Lua filter to process chunkedhtml output" has gotten kind of side tracked with a discussion of the logging module and how data is represented. Which is fine, this is good info and I appreciate the improvements to logging.

But I'd like to get back to the question of how to process chunked html output into other formats with Lua. I don't understand what data is available, when it's available, and what data structures are used.

1. Lua filter: I'm looking for the list of all files that will exist in the output folder, and the table of contents (essentially the data in sitemap.json). Is that data even available at the time a filer runs? If so, how do I access it?

2. Lua custom writer: If it can't be done in a filter, can it be done using a custom writer? Where would I find the relevant data?

3. Post-processing with Lua: Pandoc can now be run as a Lua interpreter. If neither (1) nor (2) is possible, I'm thinking I could run pandoc normally to produce a chunked html output folder, and then run pandoc again with a Lua script that finds all the files in the output folder, and reads sitemap.json. This is the same approach as doing the post processing in some other language, except that we don't have to have any additional tools installed. Is there anything that would prevent this approach?

Thanks,
