Hi,

I recently have a situation that I want to have adjacent Emph separated by 
Space to be “normalized”, combined to a single Emph. (And variants like 
this.)

--normalize is removed in 
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/commit/8165014df679338d5bf228d84efc742c5ac39d2 
and I’m not sure if it is related.

Example:

$ echo "*text* *abc*" | pandoc -f markdown -t native
[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text" ] , Space , Emph [ Str "abc" ] ]
]

Is there someway to make it

[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text" , Space , Str "abc" ] ] ]
]

Instead?

Another example is (perhaps generated in a filter)

[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text " ] , Emph [ Str "abc" ] ]]

Is there some way to normalize it to

[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text" ] , Space, Emph [ Str "abc" ] ]]

When I say “some way”, preferably it is some pandoc flags (for example 
native to markdown then markdown to native is not reliable for the space 
problem above and won’t work to merge adjacent Emph), but even if we’re 
talking about doing it in filter, how to do things like this reliably?

Thanks.

P.S.

Even for

[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text" ] , Emph [ Str "abc" ] ]]

won’t be normalized:

$ echo '[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text" ] , Emph [ Str "abc" ] ]]' | pandoc -f native -t native
[ Para [ Emph [ Str "text" ] , Emph [ Str "abc" ] ] ]

But the text in the commit message seems to suggest it should:

normalization is handled automatically by the Builder monoid instance.

(But the commit is old so may be there’s more to it in the later commits.)
