Pandoc filter to allow file inplace includes

The Pandoc Inplace Include Filter

This is a repo that provides a pandoc filter to include files in a markdown file. This filter does not replace the !include or {include} directives directly in the markdown file, but instead uses a <div> tag with a class="include" attribute. This allows to keep the import relations of the source files, while still being able to include them in the same markdown file, and invariant of running pandoc commands on the same file if the sources are not changed.

Installation

pip install pandoc-inplace-include

Inflate me with

pandoc README.md -o README.md --filter pandoc-inplace-include

Test me with

pandoc README.md -o README.1.md --filter include_filter.py
pandoc README.1.md -o README.2.md --filter include_filter.py
diff README.1.md README.2.md

Supported syntax

<div class="include" file="some.other.md.file.md" start="starting_line_num" end="ending_line_num">
All the contents within such <div> will be replaced by the contents of the file "some.other.md.file.md"
</div>

To be added

• Support for recursive includes

Now try to include some files

The <div> stuff should not be rendered, but only kept in the source file.

This part will be replaced after running `pandoc`

Other things below won't get replaced.
