Hi Julien,

I wanted attributes for all elements
(https://yewtu.be/watch?v=hFDcoX7s6rE, previously
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1966).

AFAIK, these are available for CommonMark with extensions (and for djot?).

I also knew that internally pandoc cannot deal with this natively.

I really appreciate your help, but it seems that a compromise is
required for lightweight language markup. In that case, I‘m going to
wait to explain this.

Many thanks for your help again,
