-- output using 'data:' URLs. The image format can be controlled
-- via the `image_format` metadata field.
--
-- Invoke with: pandoc -t sample.lua
--
-- Note: you need not have lua installed on your system to use this
-- custom writer. However, if you do have lua installed, you can
-- use it to test changes to the script. 'lua sample.lua' will
-- produce informative error messages if your code contains
-- syntax errors.
