Problem with page breaks in InDesign ICML files

Problem with page breaks in InDesign ICML files

I've finally found my ideal workflow, where I can write latex in a 
plain-text editor, manage my references with bibtex, and then do the layout 
and styling in InDesign. Pandoc is amazing.

It doesn't seem to be converting the latex \newpage and \pagebreak commands 
properly however, they seem to get lost in translation to the icml. Should 
I report a bug? Looking at an icml that's been edited in InDesign, it looks 
like the appropriate sequence in the icml looks something like this:

<CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/Default" 
ParagraphBreakType="NextPage">
<Br />
</CharacterStyleRange>

Thanks!

The pandoc document model doesn't support pagebreaks.
There are a couple issues proposing adding this, but it's
a relatively big change, affecting all readers and writers,
so nothing yet.

You could use a lua filter to intercept the raw latex
and convert it to raw icml.  See docs on lua filters on
the website.

Thanks for the reply! That worked great. One problem, however, is that 
additional line-breaks are inserted before and after the page-break, which 
would be fine if it was a normal paragraph, but it's not. Any ideas how to 
suppress those?

Here the script I'm using:

function RawBlock(elem)
  if elem.text == "\\newpage" then
    return pandoc.RawBlock("icml", "<ParagraphStyleRange 
AppliedParagraphStyle='ParagraphStyle/Paragraph'><CharacterStyleRange 
AppliedCharacterStyle='CharacterStyle/Default' 
ParagraphBreakType='NextPage'><Br 
/></CharacterStyleRange></ParagraphStyleRange>")
  end
end
