Re: Pikchr in Pandoc

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

We wouldn't embed this directly in pandoc (trying to avoid
C dependencies), but it would be easy to create a filter
to intercept specially marked code blocks and convert them
to pictures. (There are examples of this kind of thing in the
pandoc/lua-filters repository.)
