pandoc.exe: Error running filter .\examples\caps.py

[greatkeke]

Hello,Sir. Thx for your project very much.

I'm interested in Markdown. So, I found pandoc is something I wanted. But It couldn't parse * [] task1 to <p><input type="checkbox"/>task1</p>. Then, I decided to write a filter to resolve it.

Then

• I installed Python 3.5.
• Clone your project to test the filters
• I opened Powershell on Windows 10 as administrator
• Go to the director of the project
• Run Python step.py install
• Run pandoc --filter ./examples/caps.py

But there was an error after I had run pandoc --filter ./examples/caps.py. The error is

PS C:\Users\MyName\Downloads\pandoc-filter\pandocfilters-master\examples> pandoc --filter .\caps.py
abcd
^Z
pandoc.exe: Error running filter .\caps.py
C:\Users\MyName\Downloads\pandoc-filter\pandocfilters-master\examples\caps.py: createProcess: invalid argument (Exec format error)
PS C:\Users\MyName\Downloads\pandoc-filter\pandocfilters-master\examples>

And then, I checked my way again and again, it was still the same. So, I asked google, but nobody had this error.

In the end, I ask you for help. Was anything forgot to write in the readme?

What version of pandoc? And, do you get the same error if you leave off the .\ before caps.py?

Pandoc version: 1.17.2

Yes, it's the same in that occasion.

Try the latest Pandoc (1.9). Had the same error and with 1.8 and 1.9 it's gone

@kexxxfeng, he means 1.18 and 1.19. Anyway, it is always a good idea to use the latest versions of everything (in this case, pandocfilter and pandoc). Often bugs are already fixed in the latest version.

And also you might check out @sergiocorreia's alternative of pandocfilters — panflute. @jgm recommended this, and @sergiocorreia has ported the examples, including the caps.py you were trying.

And regarding your need to use GitHub checkbox, you might also want to see jgm/pandoc#3051, especially this comment by @jgm. He already made an example on what syntax to use (basically a span enclosing the checked/unchecked item). But note that the discussion over there isn't finalized.
