Preserve attributes

[not-my-profile]

::: {.lol2table #some-id .some-class lang=en}

A table of stuff.

-   -   foo
    -   bar
    -   baz
-   -   -   tic
        -   pic
    -   -   tac
        -   pac
    -   -   toc
        -   poc
:::

currently produces <table>...</table>. I would expect it to produce:

<table id="some-id" class="some-class" lang="en">...</table>

(sometimes you want/need to add attributes directly to the table as opposed to a wrapping div)

Closing this, since I no longer need it. (I have since implemented my own lua filter).

As you probably have discovered the formatting of HTML tables is done by Pandoc. This filter just creates a Pandoc table object which it returns to Pandoc.

[not-my-profile]

Yeah ... I meant that the attributes set on the div could be passed onto the generated table.

[bpj]

They can't because Pandoc table objects don't take attributes. The attributes on arbitrary elements in Common Mark are translated into divs and spans in the AST.

Pandoc tables do take attributes.

OK I didn't know that but I wouldn't touch the Table as opposed to SimpleTable object. It's insanely complex for little benefit. What people wanted was colspan and rowspan. That could have been implemented without such a freak object. Moreover an LoL is a perfect fit for a SimpleTable. CSS is no problem since you can always use a child selector.
