Supporting “commands” in addition to “classes” in attributes? about djot HOT 2 OPEN

It fixes virtually every complaint I have about Markdown/CommonMark

Yup yup yup, have a similar story here, where I blogged a list of my markdown/adoc complaints and got pointed towards the djot afterwards, which turned out to be exactly the thing I wanted!

Could you tell more about the intended semantics of !cmd syntax? I understand that your custom tool could treat it specially, but what's the default behavior? If you paste

::: !cmd
Div block with command
:::

into the djot's playgroud, what is the expected output?

See also #240 which also suggests to carve out syntactic space for something which isn't necessary a css class semantically.

Could you tell more about the intended semantics of !cmd syntax?

• By default, parsers would simply ignore commands. They are mainly intended as extension points for Pandoc-style filters.
• But they could also trigger some built-in functionality – e.g.: --- !appendix
