Yes, that’s the issue. The developers commented:
“...pandoc works by parsing the raw HTML to a syntax tree and then rearranging this and writing new HTML from the AST. The AST is not fine grained enough to ensure that writeHTML . readHTML == id”
They do make the point that we’re actually converting HTML to HTML, which is unnecessary since all we really want is the packaging functionality. Hence my suggestion that we switch to an alternative process.
