Below is a custom #Lua writer that behaves like a built-in writer. It can serve as the basis for a modified writer, e.g., one with a programmatically modified template.
https://pandoc.org/custom-writers

local format = 'commonmark'

Extensions = pandoc.format.extensions(format)
Template = pandoc.template.default(format)
Writer = function (doc, opts)
return pandoc.write(doc, {format=format, extensions=opts.extensions}, opts)
end

Writing one sentence per line can make collaborating via source control systems (like git) more convenient. Here's a #pandoc #LuaFilter that does that:

It always annoys me that both #OrgMode and #Pandoc do not appear to have a 'clean'/plain flag for generating output.

I want 'plain' LaTeX and HTML with no additions or custom elements...no \tightlist in list environments, nor <div> around sections. Just plain unadulterated markup, that is all...

@mxp wrote a small #pandoc #LuaFilter that helps to preserve DOI info when converting from #BibLaTeX to #BibTeX.

#TeXLaTeX images now ship with #TeXLive 2024.

Small example of how the #Lua subsystem can be used to query #pandoc's capabilities:
The default binary allows to --list-extensions of a given format, but there is no analogous option to list all formats which work with a given extension, so here is a pandoc Lua program that provides this functionality: https://gist.github.com/tarleb/ef63974ab18d92acf0eb40180d832c48

Support for #CommonMark alert-boxes was added in pandoc 3.1.10.

> [!INFO]
> This is an informational message.

Note, however, that writer (i.e., rendering) support for this is limited, and that the alert extension works with CommonMark, but not with pandoc-flavored Markdown.

The syntax has been made popular by GitHub: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#alerts

Starting with version 3.1.12, #pandoc-generated #EPUBs conform to the EU Accessibility Act. https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-a11y-eaa-mapping/

The default LaTeX template in #pandoc v3.1.12 and later supports font fallbacks. The fallback is used if a glyph cannot be found in a font.
Example use-case: get color emojis in #PDF.

---

mainfontfallback:

• Noto Color Emoji

---

🌻

Requires #LuaLaTeX as the PDF engine (i.e., pandoc --pdf-engine=lualatex ...). #TeXLaTeX
Alternatively, try 'NotoColorEmoji:mode=harf'.

pandoc, 6 months ago to markdown

#Markdown has two kinds of #links:

inline links

and

reference links

The former is the default when producing Markdown, but the latter can be generated by calling pandoc with the --reference-links option. Control the placement of reference lists with --reference-location: either after each block, after each section, or all together at the very end of the document.
