Pandoc: Convert Markdown to HTML *without* any HTML attributes

Is there a way to tell Pandoc to convert Markdown to HTML in such a way that generates only plain HTML tags without any attributes/classes?

Example:

Current Pandoc output

<pre class="sourceCode bash">

  <code class="sourceCode bash">

      TEXT

  </code>

</pre>

Desired Pandoc output

<pre>

  <code>

      TEXT

  </code>

</pre>

I browsed the official documentation but didn't find any options to do that.

Thanks!

There is no built-in option, but you can use a simple filter to remove all attributes and classes. Save the following to a file remove-attr.lua and call pandoc with --lua-filter=remove-attr.lua.

function remove_attr (x)

  if x.attr then

    x.attr = pandoc.Attr()

    return x

  end

end



return {{Inline = remove_attr, Block = remove_attr}}

Thank you for the tip. It is surprising that Pandoc, being the most well-known converter, doesn't have that option out of the box. For now I am just going to use Dillinger as a two-click solution, while I wrap my mind around the lua filters, which seem to be very powerful but more difficult to use.

Here's what I've found out so far in my search for the cleanest HTML output: Dillinger gives code blocks Highlight.js classes <pre><code class="language-bash">TEXT </code></pre>, Stack Edit uses Prism.js for syntax highlighting, so it outputs <pre class=" language-bash"><code class="prism language-bash">TEXT</code></pre>, and MarkdownToHTML produces the cleanest output: <pre><code class="language-bash">TEXT</code></pre>.
