odkr / pandoc-quotes.lua Goto Github PK

While trying to figure out my question in #4, I realised that the links to the manual page lead to a 404 error.

I’ve posted this issue simply to let you know that I know. I’ll fix it soon-ish, promise.

In French, guillemets usually have a non-breaking space « inside them ». That is, the line:

    fr          = {'«',  '»',     '‹',  '›'    },

produces a change of quotes to «inside them» (no spaces). Non-breaking is important so you don't get a line wrap with a single guillemet as a word.

So, the line could probably be:

    fr          = {'« ',' »',     '‹',  '›'    },

(the line actually has non-breaking spaces). This is how Microsoft Word works, as well as LaTeX's babel (and csquotes) if I'm not mistaken.

The change works great in a copy of the filter I installed, and I wonder if it should be changed here (I've begun using git submodules for the pandoc filters so it's easier to update them in my projects). Interestingly, I didn't see in csquotes that it's handled for any other languages: https://github.com/josephwright/csquotes/blob/bfd47ca66d07dc939d3ce37c3aefe1348996470c/csquotes.def#L594-L625

I also realize I could just override it with the YAML option, but haven't tried it.

In Romanian, the single quotes equivalent is << ... >>. The filter has the wrong order for them, resulting in >> ... <<.

See here:

The fix would be very simple -- just change their order.

Cheers,
Florin

Hello!
I installed a new version of pandoc 3.1.6.2 [windows-x86_64.msi] and the filter stopped working, it gives this error. What should I do?

Transcript started, output file is build.log
Executing Pandoc...
Error running filter C:\Users...\pandoc-quotes.lua:
...ers...\pandoc-quotes.lua:465: attempt to call a nil value (global 'error')
stack traceback:
Write-Error: Pandoc execution has failed

The correct line for Russian quotation marks should be:

ru = {'«', '»', '„', '“'},

I've been using an older version of pandoc-quotes for a while successfully, but am now looking towards updating to a new system, but I'm running into an error when running it. (I'll be working in a Linux\Ubuntu environment and am checking things out in a virtual machine -- Xubuntu 18.04 -- first).

john@john-VB-Xubuntu:~/Documents/Markdown_test_dir$ pandoc -s -o new_test.docx --filter pandoc-citeproc --lua-filter=pandoc-quotes.lua new_test.md 
Error running filter /home/john/.pandoc/filters/pandoc-quotes.lua:

pandoc version: 2.7.3
pandoc-lua version: 0.1.9
In my document's YAML block, lang is set to "de-DE".

Pandoc without using pandoc-quotes works fine when converting to pdf and docx (just without -- in the later case -- converting the quotation marks to the German style that I need).

I would appreciate any help on this. Happy to provide any further information.
