Using pandoc with weasyprint pdf engine to turn the markdown files from a 
blog (static site generator does the html conversion) into a pdf for print.

Would it be possible, perhaps with a custom lua filter or some other 
mechanism, to add the page number of the linked-to page? The page numbers 
won't be known until pandoc has already created the document, and I don't 
know where in 'the pipeline' the lua filter intervenes compared to when the 
pages exist...?  And If the pages exist with their numbers earlier enough, 
is there an object or something from which lua can get the page number?

I haven't found anything about page numbers in 
https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#module-pandoc.utils ...am I looking in 
the wrong place? Can anyone tell me anything about this?

It's an intimidating rabbit hole for me, particularly because I see no 
mention of "page  number" there in the docs, which makes it seem kinda 
hopeless actually. But maybe one of you know the way and could point me in 
that direction?
