+
+This filter prints a table of all the URLs linked to
+in the document, together with the number of links to
+that URL.
+
+```lua
+links = {}
+
+function Link (el)
+ if links[el.target] then
+ links[el.target] = links[el.target] + 1
+ else
+ links[el.target] = 1
+ end
+ return el
+end

+ return {pandoc.Plain{pandoc.Str(str)}}
+ end

+ local aligns = {pandoc.AlignDefault, pandoc.AlignLeft}
+ local widths = {0.8, 0.2}
+ local headers = {strCell "Target", strCell "Count"}
+ local rows = {}

+ rows[#rows + 1] = {strCell(link), strCell(count)}
