Re: RST to LaTeX with highlight directive?

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

If I understand correctly,

.. highlight:: python

causes python to be used as the default syntax for
code blocks, unless they're marked differently?

Looks like it's a special sphinx directive. In
general, we aim to support standard rst.  But I
suppose it could be useful to support common
sphinx directives as well.

Feel free to submit an issue requesting this on our
github issue tracker (jgm/pandoc).

A possible workaround is to use a lua filter to
insert the 'python' class into every code block.
(Easy.)
