The beauty of plain is that you can just inject Str elements with whatever markup you like and plain will just output it verbatim. For example link URLs are present in the JSON which the filter receives, so you can just replace the Link elements with whatever literal strings you like which include the link text and the URL. For example a [Pandoc::Filter][] based filter for inserting the URL in angle brackets and the title if any in parentheses after the link text: ~~~~~~perl #!/usr/bin/env perl use 5.010001; use utf8; use strict; use warnings; use Pandoc::Filter; use Pandoc::Elements; pandoc_filter Link =3D> sub { my $url =3D $_->url; my $title =3D $_->title; my $content =3D $_->content; $title &&=3D qq{ ($title)}; return [@$content, Space, Str "<$url>", Str $title]; }; ~~~~~~ or to get traditional email emphasis: ~~~~~~perl #!/usr/bin/env perl use 5.010001; use utf8; use strict; use warnings; use Pandoc::Elements; use Pandoc::Walker qw[ action transform ]; my $action =3D action Emph =3D> sub { my($elem, $action) =3D @_; my $content =3D transform $elem->content, $action, $action; # recurse return [Str '_', @$content, Str '_']; }, Strong =3D> sub { my($elem, $action) =3D @_; my $content =3D transform $elem->content, $action, $action; # recurse return [Str '*', @$content, Str '*']; }; my $doc =3D pandoc_json(); transform $doc, $action, $action; # action both as callback and argument! print $doc->to_json; ~~~~~~ Block quotes are tougher but it could be done if you run pandoc (with Pandoc.pm) on the content with the same filter(s) to fix nested block quotes, then insert '> ' at the start of every line: ~~~~~~perl # less-plain.pl use Pandoc::Elements; use Pandoc::Walker qw[ action transform ]; use Pandoc; # wrapper module my $doc =3D pandoc_json(); my $meta =3D $doc->meta; my $api_version =3D $doc->api_version; my $action =3D action BlockQuote =3D> sub { my($elem, $action) =3D @_; my $content_doc =3D Document { blocks =3D> $elem->content, # works because content is an array of blocks! meta =3D> $meta, api_version =3D> $api_version, }; # convert with pandoc! my $content =3D $content_doc->to_pandoc( -t =3D> 'plain', -F =3D> $0 ); $content =3D~ s{^}{> }mg; return Para [ Str $content ]; }, Link =3D> ..., # replace ... with the subs above, and/or insert your own!

= Block quotes are tougher but it could be done if = you run pandoc (with Pandoc.pm) on the content with the same filter(s) to f= ix nested block quotes,
then insert '> ' at the start of every line:

~~~~~~perl

use Pandoc::Elements;
<= div dir=3D"auto">use Pandoc::Walker qw[ action tr= ansform ];
use Pand= oc; # wrapper module

my $doc =3D = pandoc_json();
my $= meta =3D $doc->meta;
my $api_version =3D $doc->api_version;

my $action =3D action BlockQuote =3D> sub {
=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 my($elem, $action= ) =3D @_;
=C2=A0 = =C2=A0 my $content_doc =3D Document {=C2=A0
<= font face=3D"sans-serif">=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 blocks =3D> $elem-&= gt;content, # works because content is an array of blocks!
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 meta = =3D> $meta,
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 api_version =3D> $api_version,
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 };
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 # convert with pandoc!<= /font>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 my $c= ontent =3D $content_doc->to_pandoc( -t =3D> 'plain', -F =3D&g= t; $0 );
=C2=A0 =C2= =A0 $content =3D~ s{^}{> }mg;
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 return Para [ Str $content ];
},
<= font face=3D"sans-serif">Link =3D> ..., =C2=A0 # replace ... with the su= bs above, and/or insert your own!
Emph =3D> ...,
Strong =3D> ...;

transform $doc, $action, $action; # action both as callback and argument= !

=
print $doc->to_json;<= /div>
~~~~~~

The trick with calling pandoc works because the `$0`= variable contains the path to the current program which is the filter itse= lf.
Naturally you w= ould like to put all your modifications in the same filter.

You might have some su= ccess with filters.
You could use Markdown output, and intercept constructions
like Strong and Emph, replacing them with something else.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 As I guessed you don't really want to have plaintext. Aga= in, try
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 turning off markdown extensions to make it more "lightwe= ight" and
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 tailor that as your "plaintext".

=C2=A0 The problem is that turning off markdown extensions to achieve plain=
=C2=A0 text will simply not work afaik.
=C2=A0 For example, current plain text output will turn bold markdown **tex= t**
=C2=A0 to all caps plain TEXT. Which I find nice,
=C2=A0 I find it logical for plain text output. Can't it be done by tur= ning
=C2=A0 off flags?
=C2=A0 The thing is that what I want has no standard yet, it's somethin= g
=C2=A0 target for plain text EML, between current plain
=C2=A0 text and markdown. IMO, **foo** etc, clutters plain text output.
=C2=A0 Another possible feature of such target output
=C2=A0 could be to always move url links to footer while leaving anchors in=
=C2=A0 the main content.
=C2=A0 Regards

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Regarding treating list marker as plaintext or not: we need t= o ask
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 ourselves what do we mean when we say plaintext and markdown.= In the
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 "markdown wins the plaintext war" camp, markdown is= plaintext. Just
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 to look up wikipedia in <[1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 wiki/Plain_text>, non-binary formats are plaintext, like m= ost of the
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 pandoc formats including HTML. So pandoc's plain format d= efinitely
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 has a special meaning than these. And @jgm just defined it ab= ove.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Lastly, when I say the list marker isn't plaintext, I'= ;m thinking in
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 terms of "stringify". Like if given a document, if = I'm to remove
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 every formatting features, what would I be left with? Or in o= ther
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 words, if I speak it out without any help from those markups,= what
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 would that be? In this sense, a list in *plain* text is like = "Give
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 me a pen, pencil, and ruler." By the way, I think in typ= ography,
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 when you write that in a list (with list markers), the rule t= o apply
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 punctuation marks and connectives is exactly as if you write = it out
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 in a sentence. i.e. the list marker is just a visual element = to
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 better represent the information.
