Assigning identifiers to definition items

Assigning identifiers to definition items

[A A]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1014 bytes --]

Pandoc will convert the following markdown:

Term 1

: Definition 1

: Definition 2

Term 2

: Definition 1

To the following HTML:

<dl>
<dt>Term 1</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Definition 2</p>
</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
</dl>

How easy/straightforward is it to assign identifiers to specific
*definition* items in markdown? For example such that the resulting HTML
looks like the following:

<dl>
<dt>Term 1</dt>
<dd id="def-1-term-1">
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Definition 2</p>
</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
</dl>

You can use bracketed spans
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-bracketed_spans> to do this
manually, as in:

[Term 1]{#term-1}
...
Reference to [Term 1](#term-1).

We use an *auto-identifiers.lua* filter that I could probably add to
pandoc-ext <https://github.com/pandoc-ext>. This will auto-derive the
identifiers from the span content. This allows you to write this:

[Term 1]{}
...
Reference to [Term 1]().

or this (the t: is used as a prefix):

[Term 1]{#t:}
...
Reference to [Term 1](#t:).

The latter example generates this HTML.

<dt><span id="t:term-1">Term 1</span></dt>
...
<p>Reference to <a href="#t:term-1">Term 1</a>.</p>

Thanks William, this will certainly come in handy, however I was asking
about linking to specific *definitions*, not *terms*, i.e. in the case
where I have multiple definitions for a single term, I'd like to be able to
link to only one of them from another definition or from the main body of
my document....

Re: Assigning identifiers to definition items

[Bastien DUMONT]

Same thing, but on the definition:

Term 1

: Definition 1

: [Definition 2]{#t1-def2}

Term 2

: Definition 1

Here Term 1 has [this meaning](#t1-def2).

You will not get the id on the <dd> element directly, but on a <span> inside <dd>.

Re: Assigning identifiers to definition items

Ok, thanks for that, but when I try to convert something like the following:

[USA]{#usa}
: United States of America

The resulting HTML looks like this:

<dt><span id="usa">USA</span></dt>
<dd>
United States of America
</dd>

The hash symbol gets dropped which basically makes that span useless as the
target of an anchor link. I think I’m probably still doing something wrong
but I’m not sure what.

Nevermind sorry. Please disregard my last reply. The anchor link works fine.

Hey William,

I'd be interested in getting a hold of that filter you mentioned, I can see
how it would greatly reduce the amount of bookkeeping required here.

I did check in https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters as well as the link
you provided but couldn't find it. I could also technically make my own
filter or post-process the resulting document using JS but if you have that
filter on hand that would be very helpful.

Regards,

Amine

Re: Assigning identifiers to definition items

['William Lupton' via pandoc-discuss]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 10676 bytes --]

BTW, sorry for failing to read your original message properly!

Right. The auto-identifiers.lua filter is not yet in pandoc-ext, but I'll
look into adding it. Note that it doesn't remove the need to add an
identifier (it just derives the identifier from the content).

I think that auto-defined identifiers are only appropriate for terms, not
for definitions, but you could use a filter such as the one shown below to
auto-add identifiers to definitions if their terms have identifiers. Using
this input (based on Bastien's):

[Term 1]{#t1}

: Definition 1

: Definition 2

Term 2

: Definition 1

Here Term 1 has [this meaning](#t1-def2).

gives this HTML:

<dl>
<dt><span id="t1">Term 1</span></dt>
<dd>
<p><span id="t1-def1"></span>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p><span id="t1-def2"></span>Definition 2</p>
</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Here Term 1 has <a href="#t1-def2">this meaning</a>.</p>

The filter:

function DefinitionList(list)
    local changed = false
    for _, item in ipairs(list.content) do
        local term = item[1]
        local defs = item[2]
        if (#term > 0 and term[1].tag == 'Span' and
            #term[1].attr.identifier > 0) then
            local term_id = term[1].attr.identifier
            for i, def in ipairs(defs) do
                if #def > 0 then
                    local def_id = string.format('%s-def%s', term_id, i)
