RST to LaTeX with highlight directive?

RST to LaTeX with highlight directive?

Hi,

I have a large number of rst documents that I am trying to convert to 
latex. The rst documents contain the .. highlight:: python  directive which 
causes the literal blocks to be code  formatted correctly but when I do the 
pandoc conversion, the  resulting latex does not produce the corresponding 
highlights. I am doing this on the command line  with pandoc 2.2.3.2 on 
Ubuntu bionic.

pandoc -s foo.rst -o foo.tex

For other reasons I cannot use the .. code: python  directive.

Thanks in advance.

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.)
