Include some filter examples in the data/ directory of Pandoc distribution

Include some filter examples in the data/ directory of Pandoc distribution

[Jiří Wolker]

Hello everyone,

I propose including few useful filters that process the documents 
somehow in the Pandoc distribution. I think that they might be used both 
for learning to use Pandoc API and for practical purposes.

Few ideas:

   • includes.hs script (from the docs)

     Substitute specially marked code blocks with file contents.


   • A filter that adds file size to links (if enabled using attribute).


   • Directory listing

     The source document contains list of filenames or glob expressions
     and the filter produces list of links to the files.


I will probably write few such filters soon and I could contribute them.

Jiří W.

We're actually preferring Lua filters these days, because all you need to use them is pandoc itself; you don't need a working Haskell interpreter on your system.

There's a repository of sample Lua filters at pandoc/lua-filters
