Hi all,
first off, thanks for Pandoc, it's a beautiful tool. I've been using it on
and off over many years, mostly for ad-hoc tasks, and am now in the middle
of a larger transformation project.
I have several use cases where I want to report a location in a file rather
than transform it, e.g. ordered lists with a single list item which doesn't
make a lot of sense. It's easy enough to spot such constructs in a Lua
filter, but for the files I'm working on it is not so obvious how to
transform such constructs. So we made a decision to fix these situations by
hand.
In an input file base of roughly 3,500 files it would just be helpful to
generate a report that produces all the locations where such constructs
appear. So I'm looking for ways to deploy Pandoc's AST as a vehicle to
report these occasions. Ideally, I would e.g. attatch "LogMessage" objects
to the AST at these places, and on output these log messages would be
filled, eg. with file path and line number of the current output file.
Would something in this vein be possible?
I'm sorry if the answer is too obvious, it's just now that I really take a
look at all the documentation and examples.
Thanks, T.
