Panda is a Pandoc Lua filter that works on internal Pandoc's AST.
It provides several interesting features:
- variable expansion (minimalistic templating)
- conditional blocks
- file inclusion (e.g. for source code examples)
- script execution (e.g. to include the result of a command)
- diagrams (Graphviz, PlantUML, Asymptote, blockdiag, mermaid...)
Panda is heavily inspired by abp reimplemented as a Pandoc Lua filter.
If you need a more generic text preprocessor, UPP may be a better choice.
