* custom LaTeX writer example @ 2022-11-15 3:30 bapt a [not found] ` <34e5e93b-8832-40d3-8803-8e5a12b5290an-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: bapt a @ 2022-11-15 3:30 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pandoc-discuss [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1375 bytes --] Hi, I'm hoping to play around with custom writers, to understand a bit better how to turn pandoc's AST into a specific output format (for example, I'd like to use tabularray syntax for tables in LaTeX, and it seems "cleaner" to use a writer than to inject raw inline LaTeX via a filter into the AST). The html writer example is quite useful, but since I'm aiming for LaTeX output, it would be helpful to have something a little closer in syntax as a starting point. I searched a bit and the closest thing I could find was a plain TeX writer at https://github.com/drehak/pandoc-to-markdown but this is perhaps not as helpful for learning because most of the magic seems to be delegated to custom TeX macros. (A good strategy, but I wouldn't know (La)TeX well enough to perform some of the more complex processing) I wonder if someone here has a minimal (or complete!) example of a custom Lua writer for LaTeX they could share?

I think I'll start with a simpler case, because Tables seem too advanced for my level of understanding.
