I wish I could hook things up to Pandoc's readers to extend them

[T. Kurt Bond]

I wish I could hook things up to Pandoc's readers to extend them.  For
instance, pandoc's Docbook reader ignores indexing elements.  I wish I
could hook a Lua filter up to it so I could tell it to add the indexing
elements (perhaps as a new type of object, or perhaps as the contents of a
Span or Div with particular classes, as appropriate) to the AST before the
Lua filters get it before the writers.  Then the regular Lua filters could
rewrite it to, for instance, indexing commands suitable for ConTeXt.

Any thoughts?

This would be really nice :-). Especially also if we could rewrite e.g. 
the table generation especially for latex or so....
I think its only possible (so far) to write a whole Lua filter, where 
all elements need to be supported... not just extending...

Do you mean that pandoc ignores docbook `indexterm`s when converting *from*
docbook, or that you have problems creating them when converting (from
markdown) *to* docbook? If the latter I have a filter which (ab)uses pandoc
citation syntax to create index commands for LaTeX/xindy which could
probably be adapted.

I'm talking about going from DocBook *to* ... ReStructuredText in this
case, although I think the issues are the same with Markdown.

But I'm still interested in your filter, because I need to write one for
ConTeXt output.  Could you send your filter to me?

Sure. I'll make it presentable (documentation, comments) and upload it to
GitHub. Note however that the actual handwritten code is MoonScript, the
Lua code being autogenerated from the MoonScript and not very idiomatic.
