Note Separator not triggering

[spm1001]

Inserting notes using <aside class="notes">This is a speaker note</aside> works fine, but I can't seem to make it work using the note separator Note:

Tested using:

---
output:
  revealjs::revealjs_presentation:
    self_contained: false
    reveal_plugins: ["notes"]
---

## Title
Here is some content...

Note:
This will only display in the notes window.

Expected the 'This will only display' to be hidden, but it was included in the slide.

output:
  revealjs::revealjs_presentation:
    self_contained: false
    reveal_plugins: ["notes"]
---
## Title
Here is some content...

<aside class="notes">
This will only display in the notes window.
</aside>

Works as expected. Both work fine in vanilla reveal.js.

I'd love to be able to do this in the RMarkdown flavour as it makes the text more readable.

Didn't realize that reveal had that functionality!

We'd probably need to have either pandoc's reveal.js binding support this or add a post-processing step to look for Note: and convert it to an aside. Won't have time to do this in the near future but we'd certainly entertain a pull request!

Reveal.js says that:

If you're using the external Markdown plugin, you can add notes with the help of a special delimiter:

<section data-markdown="example.md" data-separator="^\n\n\n" data-separator-vertical="^\n\n" data-separator-notes="^Note:"></section>

# Title
## Sub-title

Here is some content...

Note:
This will only display in the notes window.

But I am not sure where it could be inserted.

I tried with Pandoc's specifications and it doesn't work either.

::: notes

This is my note.

- It can contain Markdown
- like this list

I think Speaker notes are now working using the fenced div syntax as documented here: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#speaker-notes This produces a document with speaker notes using current version of revealjs

---
title: "Test"
output: 
  revealjs::revealjs_presentation:
    self_contained: false
    reveal_plugins: notes
    keep_md: true
---

# Main header

::: notes
Main header notes
:::

## Subheader 1

::: notes
Subheader 1 notes
:::

## Subheader 2

::: notes
Subheader  notes
:::

I believe this is a good and easy way to write speaker notes and I don't think there is benefits to use the other syntax

## Title
Here is some content...

Note:
This will only display in the notes window.

If someone is interested by the other syntax, please open a new issue so we could discuss support. This is not built-in Pandoc so we would need a Lua Filter to allow this.
