How can I process custom LaTeX commands?

How can I process custom LaTeX commands?

Hi friends,

I am building a LaTeX package which adds some new annotation commands for 
semantics, like `\argument{...}` or `\conclusion{...}`. I'm brand new to 
Pandoc, but I would like to parse a LaTeX file containing these commands 
into JSON output. 

I was thinking that I could write a Pandoc filter which would process those 
commands, but that doesn't seem possible.

Is there a way to use Pandoc to process a LaTeX file containing custom 
commands?

Thanks,
Rory

I've found that I can use `+raw_tex` which at least allows me to manually 
process the custom commands:

`pandoc -f latex+raw_tex -F filter.py -t native test.tex`

```
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pandocfilters import Para, Str, toJSONFilter 

def foo(key, value, format, meta):  
    if key == 'RawBlock': 
        return Para([Str(value[1])])

if __name__ == "__main__": 
    toJSONFilter(foo)
```

If there's any other approach to this kind of thing then I'd love to hear 
it!

Pandoc will handle LaTeX macros automatically.

Example:

 % pandoc -f latex
\newcommand{\argument}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

\argument{hi}
^D
<p><strong>hi</strong></p>

You don't need a filter as long as your macro definitions are
in the file being processed, or in a local sty that it includes.
