*Thank you!*

The big advantages of using a filter is that also textbased browsers enjoy 
selflinks plus computing has just to be done once. Here are the test 
results with MANUAL.txt <http://pandoc.org/demo/MANUAL.txt> as input file:

*Without filter*

% time pandoc -s -t html5 MANUAL.txt -o output.html

real    0m0.366s
user    0m0.368s
sys     0m0.000s


*html-self-links.pl*

% time { pandoc -s -t html5 MANUAL.txt | perl html-self-links.pl > output.html 
; }

real    0m0.516s
user    0m0.556s
sys     0m0.012s


*pandoc-self-links.pl*

% time { pandoc -s -F pandoc-self-links.pl -t html5 MANUAL.txt -o output.html 
; }

real    0m2.362s
user    0m2.360s
sys     0m0.020s
