On the off chance that someone else may be interested, here is a lua filter that works by combining your walk_block filter with the one mentioned in this forum by EBkysko (link). As written above, your filter can work for a single string, e.g. the surname, because in the AST the initials and in-between space are separate strings. The modified version below gets the surname and initials (Smith, J.) underlined in the references:
``````lua
local underline_author_filter = {
Para = function(el)
if el.t == "Para" then
for k,_ in ipairs(el.content) do
if el.content[k].t == "Str" and el.content[k].text == "Smith,"
and el.content[k+1].t == "Space"
and el.content[k+2].t == "Str" and el.content[k+2].text:find("^J.") then
local _,e = el.content[k+2].text:find("^J.")
local rest = el.content[k+2].text:sub(e+1)
el.content[k] = pandoc.Underline { pandoc.Str("Smith, J.") }
el.content[k+1] = pandoc.Str(rest)
table.remove(el.content, k+2)
end
end
end
return el
end
}
function Div (div)
if 'refs' == div.identifier then
return pandoc.walk_block(div, underline_author_filter)
end
return nil
end
``````

To traverse only the contents of a specific div in a Lua filter you want to use the pandoc.walk_block function, something like this:
``````lua
local underline_author_filter = {
Str = function (str)
if 'A. U. Thor' == str.text then
return pandoc.Underline(str)
end
return nil
end
}
function Div (div)
if 'refs' == div.identifier then
return pandoc.walk_block(div, underline_author_filter)
end
return nil
end
``````

Thanks for the quick reply. I ended up creating a .json file, then a global find & replace in that, and then converted it to pdf. Works fine. I also had a go with a simple lua filter, but it only worked for strings in the body text, not the bibliography - not sure how to make it work for the bibliography div.

The citeproc library doesn't allow any formatting in given names,
so this bit of formatting is lost.
I'm not too tempted to change this. For things like
initialization, it's very convenient to have plain strings
here.
I would suggest using a lua filter which operates on the
bibliography Div and runs after the citeproc phase.
It can just find Str elements with your name and put
them in an Underline.
