Provide a shortcut to output files sharing the same name and path with source?

Provide a shortcut to output files sharing the same name and path with source?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 826 bytes --]



I wrote a custom script to do this in the past, but I’m now thinking it 
probably would be useful to many others if this is build into pandoc. e.g. -o 
"" set the convention that tell pandoc to auto-generate the path and 
filename.

My wrapper script replaces an asterisk in the output filename with the
input filename minus extension, provided there is only one input file or
batch mode, so you say e.g. `-o '*.pdf'`. Hilarity ensues if you forget the
quotes though, so perhaps some other character would be better, assuming
there *is* any suitable character which isn't special to any shell...

The character sequence "{}" can be used unquoted, it has also been used as 
replacement string in xargs and find and it will unlikely be part of a 
normal filename.  I created https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3250 for 
this suggestion.
