That would work except for the fact that a JSON filter *could* be written in Lua and there probably are such filters out there. I thought there used to be an -L option but I can't find it anymore so perhaps -L can be repurposed as a synonym of --lua-filter. (Which reminds me I ought to update my default-options wrapper script to reflect the current set of options!)

Thank you, that requires me to add `\newpage` to my files (rather than as an option on input file processing) but that's easy enough. And when I don't use the filter, it looks like the latex command is ignored.

Two asides:

1. For lua filters, why not use the same `-F`/`--filters` option?

I know lua is internal and the other is json-based, but couldn't pandoc figure it out?

2. When I accidentally used `--filter`, I get a confusing message:

```
╰─➤ pandoc --filter=pagebreak.lua --toc -i 1-chap.md 2-chap.md -s -o test.docx
Error running filter /Users/reagle/.pandoc/filters/pagebreak.lua:
Could not find executable /Users/reagle/.pandoc/filters/pagebreak.lua
```

It is there, it'd be nicer if it said "if a lua file, use --lua-filter."
