Re: Adding attributes to definition lists using pandoc

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Indeed, even with commonmark_x the attributes are not getting picked up on the definition list.

Note:  pandoc's AST cannot currently attach attributes directly to a definition list.  So generally the commonmark_x reader will create a containing Div to which to apply the attributes.  You can test that by attaching an attribute to a paragraph.  For some reason, it isn't working with definition lists.  This is a bug in https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs and should be reported there.
