Here is a link to important words about the target.
...and the "important words about the target" get removed altogether. Those should not be removed, just the tags around them should be removed. Thanks for the help so far. I'm excited to see a lua filter in action for my first time. Very curious about the api... I presume pandoc is looking for functions with particular names like Link and Span? Would you mind confirming... this https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#type-link is the proper spot in the docs for referencing Link in this context... right? I imagine this working example produce footnotes w/ page numbers for you in your environment...? Any idea what I could inspect to try to get it working in mine?
