Hi Denis,

This is the VSCode extension: [Local Lua Debugger - Visual Studio 
Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tomblind.local-lua-debugger-vscode). 
I found the documentation on this page really useful, especially the Tips 
section, so I would read carefully. There are lots of examples.

It has one setting only, the default version of lua you want the debugger's 
interpreter to use.

I have the following in my launch.json to run the debugger:

{
"type": "lua-local",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Lua Local: pandoc-argmap.lua",
"program": {
"command": "pandoc",
},
"args": [
"examples/example.md",
"-o",
"Output/example.html",
"--lua-filter pandoc-argmap.lua",
],
"env": {
"PATH": "X", // Not sure what debugger uses by default but I had to add 
mine here.
"LUA_PATH": "Y", // Not sure what debugger uses by default but I had to add 
mine here.
"LUA_CPATH": "Z", // Not sure what debugger uses by default but I had to 
add mine here.
},
"stopOnEntry": true, // use this when getting set up, set to false to have 
debugger stop on breakpoints only.
},

Then in VSCode debug mode run the launch profile.

The VSCode UI breakpoints work on normal lua code, but not pandoc lua 
filters, so you will instead have to use this code to stop the debugger:
require("lldebugger").start()

See the extension's documentation for customisation of this breakpoint 
snippet, and more complex scenarios.

This is just what worked for me. I'm pretty new to pandoc and lua, and 
haven't used VSCode a whole lot either, so there are probably other and 
better ways to do all this.

Thanks,

Mike
