Hi Christophe,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I've not used lua filters before.  It took me a while to realise how to
make a command line with the input file and output file.

I thought I'd write back and include tis for the benefit of any novices
like me.

I've now done this with your script, inserting the* '-i' *for the input
file and using output redirection '*>'  *for the output file

   pandoc --lua-filter note.lua -t markdown -i *<input file>* | sed -e
's/%%opening%%/\^\[/g' | sed -e 's/%%closing%%/\]/g' > *<output file>*

This works on my small example file.

Thank you once again.
