Removing <span dir="ltr"> from generated Markdown files

Removing <span dir="ltr"> from generated Markdown files

[Russ Urquhart]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 770 bytes --]

Hi,

I am saving Google doc files to .docx and converting them to GitHub 
flavored Markdown with the following command:

pandoc --extract-media ./images file,docx -t gfm  -o doc1.md


I keep getting the <span dir="ltr"> tags through out the generated 
document. Is there some way to stop these from being inserted in the 
generated Markdown?


Thanks,


Russ

See earlier discussion, with rough-and-ready filter which simply replaces
those spans with their content: https://v.gd/1g1Ych

I just looked at that filter, and it actually does three things:

1. Removes any `dir` attribute.
2. Removes any `custom-style` attribute.
3. Replaces a span or div with its content if it doesn't have any remaining
attributes.

You may want to omit 2 if you run with the `+styles` extension.

[John MacFarlane]

If you're using an older version of pandoc, I suggest upgrading.
We did something in more recent versions to suppress
ltr tags when they are not necessary.
