Passing extension and lua filter at the same time?

[owoodhansen]

I can't seem to combine the markdown extension Ext_mark (reads "==text==" as used in obsidian and highlights text in docx) and the lua filter include-files in the same pandoc conversion. I can make both work on their own, but when I combine both, the cmd flag -f markdown+mark is ignored. The order of -L and -f doesn't change anything.

@tarleb suggested to ensure that the pandoc.read function uses markdown+mark as format. I've played around, but cannot figure out how to specify that in the .lua file

If I understood Tarleb correctly, I should specify the extension in line 91-95 of include-files.lua, but how?

local contents = pandoc.read(
          fh:read '*a',
          format,
          PANDOC_READER_OPTIONS
        ).blocks

It might matter what version of pandoc you're using, so let us know.

Looking at the code, I think that adding format="markdown+mark" to the attributes of the include block should be enough.

Thank you both for the help so far (and your great work). I'm using Pandoc 3.0. (Also on windows, running pandoc in cmd)

Ahh it worked now. I added your suggestion in line 66 rather than in line 91-95.

Good to hear! I assume its ok to close this?

[owoodhansen]

Yes, I should have done that myself I now realise. Sorry, still learning my way around this.
