To run it, save it in a file, say `smallcaps.lua`, and invoke
pandoc with `--lua-filter=smallcaps.lua`.
Here's a quick performance comparison, using a version of the
pandoc manual, MANUAL.txt, and versions of the same filter
written in compiled Haskell (`smallcaps`) and interpreted Python
(`smallcaps.py`):
Here's a quick performance comparison, converting the pandoc
manual (MANUAL.txt) to HTML, with versions of the same JSON
filter written in compiled Haskell (`smallcaps`) and interpreted
Python (`smallcaps.py`):
Command Time
-------------------------------------------------- -------
`pandoc MANUAL.txt` 1.01s
`pandoc MANUAL.txt --filter ./smallcaps` 1.36s
`pandoc MANUAL.txt --filter ./smallcaps.py` 1.40s
`pandoc MANUAL.txt --lua-filter ./smallcaps.lua` 1.03s

`pandoc --filter ./smallcaps` 1.36s
`pandoc --filter ./smallcaps.py` 1.40s
`pandoc --lua-filter ./smallcaps.lua` 1.03s
As you can see, the lua filter avoids the substantial overhead
associated with marshalling to and from JSON over a pipe.
