I agree with your statement about Python, however, having programmed a few filter for pandoc I struggled with panflute as the core concept to understand is how the pandoc AST works. I did not find that much help in panflute, and it was easier for me to learn lua and use the numerous lua-filter-examples. Also, I find it easier to use lua, as there are no extra installations necessary.
I'd like to avoid using Lua to make my own custom filters, readers and/or writers and stick to panflute because, well, python is just superior to Lua.If anyone's familiar using panflute, I'd appreciate any commentary or help I can get on a recent issue I logged in which I am trying to process BulletLists.Thanks for your consideration.
