Dear All,

I was thinking of implementing a very-very simple dictionary with pandoc. The idea is the following: I store the necessary information in a YAML-file, such as this:

---

dictionary:

- hungarian: asztal

  english: table

  remark: Can be made of wood.

- hungarian: szék

  english: chair

  remark: We sit on it.

...

Then I use a pandoc conversion with a custom template to produce a markdown file (arranging them in a table or list), to which I again apply pandoc to convert to HTML. Both a Hungarian-English and an English-Hungarian dictionary could be produced; a simple script could automate this whole process, using the above YAML file as an input and producing the two HTML files as outputs.

My first problem is however whether it is possible at all to sort the entries (alphabetically) with a template?

If not, are there any good solutions to this problem? Or pandoc is simply not suited to solve a task like this...?

Thank you in advance,

Tamas
