IDs on paragraphs

IDs on paragraphs

[Jiří Wolker]

Hello,

after going through the documentation, I can't find any way to assign an 
ID to paragraphs and I must do quite ugly workaround with anchor (empty 
link, at least in HTML) at the beginning of the paragraph. Is there a 
way to assign the ID to a paragraph directly (not using a div as a wrapper)?

Is it possible to add this feature to the Pandoc? (I am not very 
experienced in Haskell and I do not know whether adding attributes field 
to the paragraphs would break existing filters.)

I know that I can generate raw HTML using a filter but this does not 
seem to be the most versatile way to do it.

This feature could be useful for e.g. typesetting standards and laws, 
where it is quite handy to make every paragraph referencable from 
outside of the document.

Thanks.

Currently attributes can't be placed directly on paragraphs.

If you use `-f commonmark_x`, you can use the generic attribute syntax

{#myid}
Here's my paragraph.

But because the pandoc AST can't directly put attributes on paragraphs, this will cause the paragraph to be placed in an enclosing Div which gets the id.
