The current implementation of remove-emojis.lua removes tokens in the pandoc tree that are just single or double colons. For example, the file
is transformed into
The shortest github emojis are 3 characters (including the colons), so removing anything shorter than that won't match them. By only removing strings that start & end with ":" and are at least 3 characters long, the output for situations like the example above is fixed and includes the colons.
To more accuractely remove only github emoji and no other tokens surrounded by colons, you could make use of https://api.github.com/emojis to get an up-to-date list, but that might be a bit overkill.
