Exception handling at writer end

Exception handling at writer end

[Harsh Donga]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 870 bytes --]

Hey folks,

Context : I am trying to convert Pandoc AST to HTML

I would like to know if there is any exception handling done if let's say a 
particular block in Pandoc AST is erroneous (wrongly structured or placed).
For now, pandoc command (pandoc -t html pandoc.json -o pandoc.html), 
returns 
err at block[x][y]
That is the whole conversion fails.

Can that particular element be skipped or something else can be done?


Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Harsh

Generally this shouldn't happen; writers should be able to handle arbitrary ASTs.
So let us know the particulars.  Give a short example sufficient to reproduce the issue you're seeing.

Also, verify that your issue is not actually with reading the JSON.

Try pandoc -f json -t native

If this raises an error, then the issue is in how your JSON is formatted.

There are several cases, let's say here i am trying to make a BulletList 
but insert a heading object in between (out of structure) (Please refer 
first heading object inside bulletlist)
It does not conform to : 
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-types-1.22/docs/Text-Pandoc-Definition.html#t:Block 
(BulletList [[Block 
<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-types-1.22/docs/Text-Pandoc-Definition.html#t:Block>
]])
My intention to ask the question is if i can skip this element and process 
the rest?

If it's related to that, are there any options in Pandoc to skip or resolve 
it?
I believe it might be a reading issue (Since i am talking about ill 
formatted structure)

Let's say here i am trying to make a BulletList but insert a heading object 
in between (out of structure) (Please refer first heading object inside 
bulletlist)
It does not conform to : 
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-types-1.22/docs/Text-Pandoc-Definition.html#t:Block 
(BulletList [[Block]])
My intention to ask the question is if i can skip this element and process 
the rest to HTML?

Re: Exception handling at writer end

[John MacFarlane]

Pandoc's `-f json` expects a JSON encoding of a Pandoc AST; it must conform to the constraints on the AST given by the types.
If `pandoc -f json -t native` fails, it means that you haven't got a valid JSON serialization of a pandoc AST.  So, you're not even getting to the writers.

Alright, so having additional logic to check conformity beforehand is the 
key!

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support I get always!
One of the best community!
