Dear Sukil,

So I believe only commonmark_x provides the non-default attributes
extension. It’s not included in commonmark, I don’t think.

So I tried with commonmark_x on the following code:

---
title: my title
author: bob marley
---

# Header {#identifier .class key=value}

Some text

{#special .glossary}
Term 1
: Definition 1

Term 2
: Definition 2

with the following command:

pandoc -f commonmark_x -t html .\definition-lists.md

But i’m still not getting the attributes added to the <dl> element:

<h1 class="class" data-key="value" id="identifier">Header</h1>
<p>Some text</p>
<dl>
<dt>Term 1</dt>
<dd>
Definition 1
</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>
Definition 2
</dd>
</dl>

The other option is to maybe use the fenced_divs extension with regular
markdown, but I’m trying to see if there’s a more generic way.

Regards,

Amine
