Just to mention another disadvantage of -M option that I haven’t included in the summary above: if the options is specified in this way, it will “burn-into” the document. But one of the application I need is to go freely in a round trip (converting pandoc Table to CSV CodeBlock in one pass, and convert the CSV CodeBlock back to pandoc Table in another pass). But since the -M metadata will accumulate, this is a no-go at least for me. Because of this, I now see why @jgm recommends using environment variables among the currently working methods. But the potential difficulties for Windows users is still a concern. And the new suggestions of -F FILTERNAME[=FILTEROPTIONS] seems cleanest. For ugly filter name: -F "My Cool Filter.py"="--some --cool --arg". Don’t know if this will make the life of pandoc-mode or panzer and alike easier too. ​ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
