How to use pandoc_args lua-filter in quarto

[jiangshiguo]

I used to use pandoc_args lua-filter (see examples from Section 5.1 of the RMarkdown Cookbook) to set text colors in bookdown books. How can I use it in pandoc?

Thank you!

This is a LUA filter, see https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/filters.html for more.

Thank you for pointing to this! I remember going through the Quarto documentation and obviously overlooked/skipped this section. I saved the color-text.lua file in the project folder and added the following to the _quarto.yml file and it works like a charm.

filters:
  - color-text.lua

So now the top section of my _quarto.yml file looks like this:

project:
  type: book

filters:
  - color-text.lua
