Syntax to call to a SILE command via djot

[pekkavaa]

I have a dummy SILE command defined as

self:registerCommand("formulas", function (options, content)
    SILE.typesetter:typeset("Formulas: ")
    SILE.process(content)
end, "A test command")

and I can trigger it in a djot document by using an inline SIL snippet:

`\formulas{x = y}`{=sile}

which works as expected:

However, I'd like to do this with djot syntax. I thought using a custom style was supposed to map back to a SILE command

`x = y`{custom-style="formulas"}

but that just outputs the literal as is:

Is there such a feature at all in markdown.sile?

It should be doable, see the barcode example in the User Manual, which does that kind of pseudo-styles with custom commands too.

N.B. For your case probably via a bracketed span replacing (and/or around) the code inline element.

I am quite sure we currently map code inline elements directly to SILE's "code" without handling any special attributes, incl. styles. There was some reason for that. While Djot theoretically accepts attributes everywhere, it can also become very messy to mix elements that have a natural semantic styling (italic, bold, verbatim) with higher-level styles that can affect that natural styling.

Thank you, [a = b]{custom-style="formulas"} indeed works.
