Manipulating the Items of a Bullet List with a pandoc filter

Manipulating the Items of a Bullet List with a pandoc filter

I'm working on my CV using Markdown as the basis, but would like to 
implement a pandoc filter that replaces the bulleted lists in markdown with 
specific LaTeX syntax for each list item.

In place of a block like this:
\begin{itemize}
\item
 Assistant Professor, Media Arts and Game Development, Department of
 Communication, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Whitewater, WI.,
 Aug 2010-Present
...
\end{itemize}

I would like this (attempting to use a variant of Kieran Healy's CV template 
<http://kjhealy.github.io/kjh-vita/>, but starting in Markdown):
\ind Assistant Professor, Media Arts and Game Development, Department of
  Communication, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Whitewater, WI.,
  Aug 2010-Present

\ind (next list item, and so on through the itemized list)

I'm new to Haskell and would appreciate pointers for how you might approach 
this with a pandoc filter. I've looked briefly at the scripting guide 
<http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/scripting.html> but am at a loss as to 
how to remove the BulletList and apply the action to each item inside.

You can also use a Python filter to do this. Here's one that inserts \ind at the beginning of every paragraph block.

Doing what you describe---eliminate bullets, then add \ind---would require modification to this script, but it could get you started. Or it could solve your problem if you're not wedded to using bullet lists in the Markdown source and would be fine separating the items as paragraphs.
