Hi,

Has anyone here attempted to create a lua filter to produce Lout as a
pandoc output format?

Pandoc is a universal converter from input formats to output formats, for
example it accepts these are input formats:

$ pandoc --list-input-formats

commonmark, creole, csv, docbook, docx, dokuwiki, epub, fb2, gfm, haddock,
html, ipynb, jats, jira, json, latex, man, markdown, markdown_github,
markdown_mmd, markdown_phpextra, markdown_strict, mediawiki, muse, native,
odt, opml, org, rst, t2t, textile, tikiwiki, twiki, vimwiki


and these output formats

$ pandoc --list-output-formats

asciidoc, asciidoctor, beamer, commonmark, context, docbook, docbook4,
docbook5, docx, dokuwiki, dzslides, epub, epub2, epub3, fb2, gfm, haddock,
html, html4, html5, icml, ipynb, jats, jats_archiving,
jats_articleauthoring, jats_publishing, jira, json, latex, man, markdown,
markdown_github, markdown_mmd, markdown_phpextra, markdown_strict,
mediawiki, ms, muse, native, odt, opendocument, opml, org, pdf, plain,
pptx, revealjs, rst, rtf, s5, slideous, slidy, tei, texinfo, textile,
xwiki, zimwiki



I imagine that with such a filter we could convert say:

Latex to Lout
HTML to Lout
markdown to Lout

I've seen people write papers in markdown and uses pandoc to produce a
formatted/printable version with Latex or groff.
