Re: Customize Conversion for Identifiers in Code Blocks

[Matthew Pickering <matthewtpickering-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

You can write a filter ... f :: Block -> Block and have something like
the following.

f :: Block -> Block
f (CodeBlock _ s) = RawBlock (Format "latex")  ("\\MySpecialToken{" ++ s ++ "}")
f b = b

Do you also plan to output to other formats? If so then "toJSONFilter"
can take a function of type "f :: Maybe Format -> Block -> Block"
where the first argument is the output format.

Does that make sense?
