pandoc's native format as output format in online demo?

[YvesMarcoux]

I was expecting to be able to select "pandoc" (or perhaps "JSON" or "AST") as an output format in the online demo, but it is not one of the choices.

Would it be possible to add it, and show the result as the pandoc's AST serialized in either JSON or XML?

Pandoc stores math as LaTeX strings!

texmath itself has its own AST.

OK, I misunderstood the readme. Since "pandoc's native format" is mentioned as one of the output formats, I thought this meant formulas would be represented parsed in some way as a subtree in pandoc's AST, rather than as a single Math InlineMath or DisplayMath LaTeX string.

Maybe what I have in mind is texmath's own AST... Would it be possible to have it serialized in JSON, XML, or even Haskell native?

[jgm]

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. texmath can render in Pandoc's native format, and we use that as a fallback in formats where nothing else works.

Anyway, it could be added to the demo, but first it would need to be added to the server. I don't have time to do it right now. You can build the executable texmath, and it will output these things.

Good, thank you!
