The div content is an enhanced `pandoc.List` table with some useful methods:

https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#module-pandoc.list

The filter documentation notes where you will find List objects in the type descriptions.

BTW you probably don't want to use the return value of pandoc.utils.stringify the way you did because it strips all formatting. If you just inject the HTML tags the way I showed formatting in the div content will be preserved.

Oh, so the `div` content is a `table` in lua terms? That didn't occured to me, even though it probably should ... I actually managed to replace it not as a `RawInline`, but `RawBlock`, like so:

```.{lua}
if elem.t == 'Div' and elem.classes[1] == "replace-me" then
content = pandoc.utils.stringify(elem.content)
return pandoc.RawBlock('html', '<note>' .. content.. '</note>')
else
return elem
end
```

But thank you for your solution, for me it was very educational!
Another thing that I struggle with is to wrap my head around `walk_block` function. From the examples in the pandoc official page it is not much clearer to me. I think I now understand that they are used to iterate/filter over the contents of the block that is being walked over. But if the block element contains only String elements (paragraph with simple text), then also Str-filter functions are applied to it?
Maybe my confusion can be voiced like this: When should I use `pandoc.walk_block` function to get what I want and cannot use something else? Explained not only with code, but also with commentary ...

It is neither possible nor needed to convert the whole block to HTML within the filter; rather you should just inject the start and end tags:

``````lua
-- Create these only once, for speed and resources saving!
local pre = pandoc.RawBlock('html', '<note>')
local post = pandoc.RawBlock('html', '</note>')

function Div (div)
-- The order of the classes shouldn't matter!
if div.classes:includes('replace-me') then
local content = div.content
table.insert(content, 1, pre)
table.insert(content, post)
return content
end
return nil
end
``````

Hello,

I would like to ask how you should, in general, detect and manipulate with Pandoc `block` elements. Currently, I am trying to replace `<div class='replace-me'>` tag with `<note>` tag in similar (highly simplified) HTML file:

```.{html}
<html>
<body>
<p> First line. </p>
<div class="replace-me another-class"> This should carry on to converted document. </div>
<p>End.</p>
</body>
</html>
```

I have tried to detect the `<div>` tag, use `walk_block` to get the `<div>` content and put it in `<note>` tag, I also found a code using `:walk` method. Lastly, I tried to convert `<div>` content to simple string and concatenate that in `RawInline` type:

```.{lua}
if elem.t == 'Div' and elem.classes[1] == "replace-me" then
content = pandoc.utils.stringify(elem.content)
return pandoc.RawInline('html', '<note>' .. content.. '</note>')
else
return elem
end
```

But none of that is working. I would like to ask you, how to work in general with `pandoc_walk` or `:walk` (are they the same?) and how to deal with my specific situation?
Thank you very much for any help, I ope that afterwards I will be able to help myself a little bit more :)
Regards Tomas
