Pandoc transforms *inside* latex macro arguments?

Pandoc transforms *inside* latex macro arguments?

[Ranjit Jhala]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1148 bytes --]

Hello,

Is there a way to tell pandoc to transform strings that appear *inside* the 
arguments for latex macros? For example,
I'd like to use the tufts-book class' \footnotetext{ ... } command, and I'd 
like to write things like:

   \footnotetext{This is *really* important.}

The trouble is that this gets rendered, in the latex, with the `*` rather 
than with the usual markdown italics. 

Is there a way to tell pandoc to actually convert the *really* to 
\emph{really} or will it always ignore all arguments to latex macros (like 
\footnotetext) ?

Many thanks!

Ranjit.

Hi Ranjit,

Can I check that your input fomat is markdown, you are writing raw
latex commands (in the markdown) and then converting to latex? I think
this is possible using a filter.

[Matthew Pickering]

I think this filter[1] does what you want? It is a bit fragile and
could break if you used block level content but I trust you can modify
it to your own ends.

[1]: https://gist.github.com/mpickering/f1718fcdc4c56273ed52

Example usage

```
> pandoc -f markdown -t latex --filter ./inside.hs
\footnotetext{This is *really* important.}

\footnotetext{This is \emph{really} important.}
```

[John MacFarlane]

Just define a macro and add it to the preamble before
converting using pandoc:

    \newcommand\footnotetext[1]{#1}

Hi John,

Unfortunately, the \footnotetext macro is already defined inside 
tufte-latex; if I 

1. modify your suggestion with \renewcommand, then the text just gets 
inlined (i.e. doesn't appear as footnotes)

2. modify your suggestion with 
   
    \newcommand\myfootnote[1]{\footnotetext{#1}}

    then I still don't get the desired effect. 

In both cases, I took "preamble" to mean, the "template" i.e. I am running

pandoc --from=markdown+lhs --chapters --latex-engine=pdflatex 
--template=templates/default.latex

so I made the edits to default.latex. Did you mean something else?

Many thanks!

Ranjit.

Re: Pandoc transforms *inside* latex macro arguments?

[BPJ]

What I do is that I put the markdown which should go inside the command
argument in a div element with a `cmd="foo"` attribute `<span cmd=foo>some
*emph* here` and then let my filter prepend a
{"RawInline":["latex","\\foo{"]} at the beginning of the Span's content
list and append a {"RawInline":["latex","}"]} at the end. Then I can easily
have another filter remove the `cmd` attribute and insert its value as a
class when producing HTML from the same source. I also have an `args`
attribute of the form `args="\foo{before}{span}#{after}{span}"` or
`args="foo#before%span#after%span"` where with the second form I do a
`split` on `#` and a `s/%/}{/g` when producing LaTeX and when producing
HTML a `tr/#%/.-/` and insert the resulting 'foo.before-span.after-span' as
a class.
