Hi,
I'm hoping to play around with custom writers, to understand a bit better
how to turn pandoc's AST into a specific output format (for example, I'd
like to use tabularray syntax for tables in LaTeX, and it seems "cleaner"
to use a writer than to inject raw inline LaTeX via a filter into the AST).
The html writer example is quite useful, but since I'm aiming for LaTeX
output, it would be helpful to have something a little closer in syntax as
a starting point.
I searched a bit and the closest thing I could find was a plain TeX writer
at https://github.com/drehak/pandoc-to-markdown
but this is perhaps not as helpful for learning because most of the magic
seems to be delegated to custom TeX macros. (A good strategy, but I
wouldn't know (La)TeX well enough to perform some of the more complex
processing)
I wonder if someone here has a minimal (or complete!) example of a custom
Lua writer for LaTeX they could share?
Many thanks,
baptiste

I'd recommend using a "new style" writer and just replacing the code that formats tables.

Thanks – it does seem ideal; I wasn't sure from the description if one
could only include the targets to be replaced from an existing format, or
if everything had to be included to be a valid writer.
I think I'll start with a simpler case, because Tables seem too advanced
for my level of understanding.
Best,
baptiste
