Why "filter" instead of "filters"? #46

Open vbwx opened 6 years ago

vbwx commented 6 years ago

Since I keep my panzer support files in my pandoc data directory (to avoid redundancies), I wonder if there is a specific reason why panzer only looks for filters in a directory named "filter" when pandoc has a "filters" directory by convention?

The same applies to "template" vs "templates" but I've been successfully using "templates" as directory name so far.

Good point. This functionality of searching in these locations by default in pandoc did not exist (or at least I had not seen documentation on it) when panzer was written.

I'll change panzer to look in both templates and template, etc.

The rationale for panzer using singular forms ('filter', 'template') was because I was understanding these terms to be used as verbs in the imperative mood rather than as collective nouns.

Thanks, that will make panzer even more versatile.

I wanted to create a PR for this but I don't really know any Python yet 😞
