Use `listing` instead of `codelisting`

Greetings.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your contribution and your handy filter. It has been a real life saver for when I need to write uni reports and the like.

My question is: Is it possible to output the listing environment for captioned code blocks, instead of the filter's custom codelisting? I am using this filter in conjunction to minted.lua. I've already set up my code blocks to look how I like them, but I would like for my captioned code blocks to have the same formatting. Would something like that be possible? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's possible, see the listings option in the manual: https://lierdakil.github.io/pandoc-crossref/#general-options. Please note that Pandoc doesn't use listing by default either, so you have to invoke pandoc -F pandoc-crossref -Mlistings --listings or something equivalent (see the pandoc manual for details)

Your solution is meant for usage with the package listings. I want to use minted, which uses the environment listing, instead of lstlisting that the first one uses.

Okay. The best I can suggest is to use --listings with a custom LaTeX template and just \newenvironment redefine lstlisting to mean listing. Not sure if it'll work well (or at all), but seems quite feasible. Another option is to use a small custom filter to rewrite all code blocks into the LaTeX code of your preference. Pandoc itself is quite limited in what LaTeX it will produce, so I don't really see many other options.
