Thanks again, something like this should work. I'd prefer to turn it into a regular newline, but haven't figure out how to do that. pandoc.str('\n') doesn't seem to result in any output.

Pandoc -f html -t native shows that <br> is turned into a Linebreak element:

pandoc -f html -t native
test <br/>
[ Plain [ Str "test" , LineBreak ] ]

So I'd use a filter that converts Linebreaks to Space. Save as removeLinebreak.lua:

function Linebreak (elem)
return pandoc.Space()
end

Could be added to the previous one with

return {{
OrderedList = fixList,
BulletList = fixList,
Linebreak = replaceBySpace

}}

I think replacing it with a space is the safest. To remove it entirely, you couldn't return nil as Pandoc treats this as "leave unmodified". You'd have to return an empty list instead, I think:

function Linebreak (elem)
return pandoc.List:new()
end

Best,

One other quick question: pandoc parses <br> as linebreak, and translates that into org as double-backslash \\. Any way to disable this?
