LaTeX environments as a Div?

[jgm]

In parsing LaTeX environments without raw_tex extension, pandoc currently tries to parse the environment's contents and just skips the begin and end tag (with a warning).

Proposal: instead of doing this, parse the contents as before but put them in a Div with class = the environment name. (We probably still want the warning, though, to inform the user that the formatting normally associated with the environment is not being applied.)

Do the same for unknown LaTeX commands, but with Spans rather than Divs.

See pandoc-discuss thread "[LaTeX → RST] Export environments into directives".

OK, I think this should be done just with environments. There are too many commands whose contents should not be treated as textual; skipping them when raw_tex is disabled (as we currently do) seems the best approach.

Many thanks!
