I use this Lua filter to clean up when I convert from DOCX.

``````lua

local function handler (elem)

-- Get the length of the content

len = #elem.content

-- Check that the content isn't empty

if 0 < len then

-- Is the last child a space?

if 'Space' == elem.content[len].tag then

-- Remove the space (last child)

elem.content:remove()

-- Return a space *after* the element

return { elem, pandoc.Space() }

end

return nil

end

return {

{

Emph = handler,

Strong = handler,

Strikeout = handler,

SmallCaps = handler,

Underline = handler,

Span = handler,

Link = handler,

}

``````

I am a bit sloppy typing italics in my wordprocessor, and generally only turn off the italics after I hit the space at the end of the word, so I end up with markdown output that looks like this (when I convert from rtf to md):

Strictly speaking the qualities that are imposed by the *logos *of a certain thing are the *activities *of the *logos*

This looks ugly when I open it up in Emacs etc. I can fix these with regex replace in Emacs; but I thought pandoc had normalization by default now, which is supposed to fix these kinds of stylistic errors? I tried passing the markdown again through pandoc, to generate markdown, but it made no difference.
