Include markdown from other files

[tobiasdiez]

This filter makes it very easy to embed code. It would be nice if one could also embed a different markdown document. This is handy for longer documents, where one could create an index and have other documents say for each chapter. The syntax could be something like

```{include=chapterA.md embed snippet=cool-thingy}
```

or

```{embed=chapterA.md snippet=cool-thingy}
```

I know that there are already other filters that can do this, e.g. https://github.com/DCsunset/pandoc-include. But none of them has the nice features such as snippet or selections by lines.

@tobiasdiez, what do you think about the following solution?

a.md:

A

b.md:

B

plan.lst:

a.md
b.md

Console input:

pandoc $(cat plan.lst)

Console output:

<p>A</p>
<p>B</p>

Thanks for your suggestion. This may work in some use cases, but not for me. Instead of concatenating two markdown files, I really would like to embed one into another:

some text....
<-- embed other markdown file here
... more text after
