Difference in CodeBlock class information between md and rst sources

[Evidlo]

I have the following Markdown and ReST source files:

# hello world

    ```python
    def testing(foo):
        print('hi')
    ```

hello world
-----------

.. code:: python

   def testing(foo):
       print('hi')

I have written a simple Python filter that prints classes to a file.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from pandocfilters import toJSONFilter

def log(foo):
    with open('/tmp/dump', 'w') as f:
        f.write(foo)


def my_filter(key, value, format_, meta):
    if format_ == 'latex' and key == 'CodeBlock':
        (ident, classes, attributes), contents = value
        log(str(classes))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    toJSONFilter(my_filter)

With the Markdown source, I get ['python'], but with the ReST source I get ['sourceCode', 'python']. Should these not be the same? This makes language detection problematic.

Good point, e.g. the markdown, gfm, docbook readers all render to CodeBlock ("",["python"] ... (using -t native). So this seems like an inconsistency in the rst reader.

I see from the source that the LaTeX and Markdown readers add the `sourceCode` class when parsing literate Haskell. I can't recall whether there is any reason for this. Probably not, because nothing else in the source seems to use it. Mauro Bieg <notifications@github.com> writes:
