Allow generic Pandoc options with :args

[denisdefreyne]

Potential fix for #526.

It is now possible to call Pandoc like this:

filter :pandoc, args: [:s, {:f => :markdown, :to => :html}, 'no-wrap', :toc]

I don’t think this breaks backwards compatibility, even though the filter’s method signature has changed, because it was never possible to call the filter in a different way.

Gladly. I have manually patched against 3.7.5 using your diff and it works great. Where do I +1?

[denisdefreyne]

Leaving a comment that says :+1: works!

I just realised that the documentation isn’t up-to-date. Will fix now.

The documentation is now updated. I’ve marked the :args approach as recommended, since it’s the most flexible and matches closely the way one would invoke Pandoc from the command line.

Are you OK with the documentation?

Looks good to me. My test/use case is:

opts = [{:to => :html5,
        'base-header-level' => 2,
        :filter => 'pandoc-citeproc',
        'data-dir' => 'content/about/bibliography/',
        :bibliography => 'content/about/bibliography/whk.name.bib',
        :csl => 'content/about/bibliography/chicago-annotated-bibliography.csl'
       }, 'section-divs']
filter :pandoc, :args => opts  

Which I would have been able to develop from the new docs.
