Rewriting extensions in links

Rewriting extensions in links

Suppose I have a markdown file "foo.md" which contains links [like 
this](target.md), pointing at other markdown files in the directory.

When I convert this to HTML I would like the link target to be 
"target.html" rather than "target.md", since all the files have been 
converted from md to html.

Is there a straightforward way to do this?

I looked through the list of third-party filters:
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/wiki/Pandoc-Filters
and didn't see anything - but maybe this is functionality built-in to 
pandoc that I've overlooked? Or would I have to write a filter myself?

Thanks,

Brian.

Are you only converting to html? If so, why don't you just write 
[like this](target.html)?

If you're converting to more than one output format and want the 
links to use the extension of the output format, you're probably 
looking at some scripting. I'm fairly sure Pandoc doesn't do this.

Because .md files can point to .md files when rendered by (e.g.) github or 
gitlab. It's nice to keep that.

At least it's not just me then :-)

Thanks,

This filter would be extremely simple to write.
You just match on Link, check the url, and modify
it if needed.
