@PauloCereda Yes, it seems that passing everything to md is the best option, pandoc is only in charge of making conversions, a couple of scripts (not in Java or Lua) would do the intermediate work, I think that will be my approach.
@PabloGonzálezL well yes and no, it does what is advertised but (like many of these systems) it works best if you accept what comes out, customising the output wasn't always as easy as you might hope.
@PabloGonzálezL yes we have more control in our main documentation pipeline but that is our own xml and 100000 lines of xslt to format it which isn't an option for many projects.
@DavidCarlisle Then it will be an option to consider, the development model that followed in (learnlatex.org) I love, especially the translations...the project that I want to convert should have a similar model, but, I hope to have a LaTeX output too, I will see how I order the ideas that result
@JosephWright -- Biscuits / cookies is another confusing pair. But the term that must really be avoided is "table" as a verb. That's the level of confusion that needs to be eliminated. Is there a way to search the profiles of tex.sx participants to see if there's someone in Portugal who might be conscripted? When I was writing web material for AMS, I ran it through Google translate to French and German, to catch things that didn't make sense, and found some real whoppers.

@PauloCereda -- O, darn. The sound of velcro ripping in theatrical fight scenes is delightful. Make it quieter, and it doesn't have nearly the same effect.
@PauloCereda so your next challenge, get albatross certified for restricted shell escape and then hook it up to fontspec to implement a css-style just give me the character who cares what font it is in mode.
@AlanMunn -- I've got a totally unrelated question, about U.S. vs. Canadian practice. What measurement system is in everyday use in Canada -- metric or inches/feet? I've already learned somewhere that both lettersize paper and A4 are about equally likely to be "standard" in laser printers. The reason I ask is that I'm writing an essay on the "lapses" of ur-TeX (to celebrate this tuneup year), and one of the complaints is about the 1in/1in setting for the origin for printout.
@AlanMunn -- "Circle" is familiar enough to me for this purpose, as it's s normal square dance call. But I gather from your comment that "circulate" doesn't necessarily mean that the route is circular, which is why I suggested "one way" (with implied "please"). Around here, "one way" seems to be only a suggestion, and it's always a good idea to look both ways when crossing a "one way" street. Just last week, we were driving down such a street when we were faced with oncoming headlights.
@DavidCarlisle -- This will be explained in my essay. 0,0 was impossible for printers at the time. 1in,1in was a somewhat arbitrary compromise. Admittedly not perfect.
I have a quite large document for which I'd like the references to show up in the order they appear in. I use Biblatex with a .bib file and sorting=none, however, the references still do not show up in the order they appear in...
