single underscores remain converting from commonmark to plain

single underscores remain converting from commonmark to plain

When I convert to plain text from commonmark the _word_ strings retain 
their underscores.
I expect them to just become the word without the underscores. Is their an 
option for this?

pandoc -f commonmark -t plain test.md

test.md:

**word**
__word__
*word*
_word_

output

WORD WORD _word_ _word_

No.  Plain output roughly follows Project Gutenberg plain text conventions.

However, if you want all emphasis to be removed entirely, you can use a small Lua filter:

function Emph(el)
  return el.content
end

save as deEmph.lua and use --lua-filter deEmph.lua on the command line.

Well, that appears to be perfect!  Exactly what I needed; I thought I was 
going to have to create a filter for the output.
Thanks!
