Pandoc filter

It was brought up in this forum previously that it would be neat to use Pikchr from Pandoc.

I just gave it a short and managed to implement a filter using Pandoc's Lua API. You can find it in this repository. I tried it with HTML and ODT output, and both worked well (though the image size in the ODT file was a bit off).

John,

Thanks muchly for this, I've been using to make PDFs etc and it works well. I'll do a bit more production testing in the next weeks and see if anything turns up.

John,

Thanks for the pikchr lua filter, FWIW I've ended adding it to to diagram-generator.lua so you get:

  1. Pikchr
  2. PlantUML
  3. Graphviz (aka dot)
  4. Tikz
  5. Python
  6. TMG - my own little macroprocessor
*.md *.sty pandoc PDF or HTML 
boxrad=10px
box "*.md" "*.sty"
arrow ->
box "pandoc"
arrow ->
box "PDF or" "HTML"

Its intended for writing up design documents and after a bit more testing I'll release but if anyone is interested drop me a line at philip dot maker at gmail com.

Hi - just wondering if you have taken down the repository for the Pandoc Filter you wrote - I'm getting a "502 Bad Gateway" response when trying to access.

If the repo is no longer available - could you post the code (if it is short enough) or provide another link?

Thanks in advance!

I had to do some maintenance on the server. It's back up now.
