1/ Writer

Using --to=sample.lua works when --standalone is not present and .

Otherwise I have this error: Could not find data file templates/default.sample.lua

Using --writer=sample.lua does not work.

Error: "Unknown option --writer."

I now know why using "--to" did not work.

2/ Accessing variables in lua filter

I would like to have access to "variables" in lua filter.

Currently I have access to "metadata" when I use "function Pandoc(doc) ... end"

In the doc: https://pandoc.org/custom-writers.html#a-custom-html-writer, I saw this "function Doc(body, meta, vars) ... end" but it's never called in my tests.

I prefer not to use "function Writer" for now if possible.

Do you have any tips or working examples for that one?

Thanks

Pandoc expects the custom writer to be given as the argument of
`-t`/`--to`/`-w`/`--write`.

pandoc --standalone --verbose --to=sample.lua ...

Here's a custom Markdown writer. It's an experiment designed to show how
a new writer might be structured. It's a bit slow though.
