error message [solved] about pandoc-odt-filters HOT 3 CLOSED

Solved: now in Dolphin I have this command for md files:

sed -i -e 's@<span class="symbol">\&#58771;<\/span>@[\&#58771;]{custom-style="symbol"}@g' -e 's@<span class="symbol">\&#58772;<\/span>@[\&#58772;]{custom-style="symbol"}@g' -e 's@<span class="symbol">\&#58773;<\/span>@[\&#58773;]{custom-style="symbol"}@g' -e 's@<span class="symbol">\&#58774;<\/span>@[\&#58774;]{custom-style="symbol"}@g' %U && pandoc -t odt+smart --lua-filter odt-custom-styles.lua %U -o %u.odt --reference-doc="default.ott" && rename 's/md.odt/odt/g' *  

It works! Thank you!

Sorry: my mistake!
Now the filter is working... but ...
not saving my class/styles to odt: this is the md code

<span class="symbol">&#58773;</span>

as well as

<span style="font-family: opensymbol; color: olive;">&#58773;</span>

not read as text but as symbol (without class)

Hi, @DoctorSubtilis, sorry for the extremely long silence. I'm glad that you found a way to make it work.

The odt-custom-styles.lua filter is designed to recognize styles marked as custom attributes in spans and divs in pure markdown (as apparently you perceived, judging by your own solution using sed). So:

[a little span]{custom-style="symbol"}

is recognized, but

<span class="symbol">a little span</span>

doesn't. This is because Pandoc doesn't parse HTML spans as markdown spans, and so Lua filters can't manipulate them properly.

Also, custom styles, in this filter, refers to ODT styles (such as Paragraph, Heading 1 and so on). CSS styles are a whole different type of styles.
