How to convert markdown link to html using Pandoc

Issue

Pandoc cannot convert a link's URL as expected.
Markdown:

[Document](./document.md)

HTML:

<a href="./document.md">Document</a>

Expected HTML:

<a href="./document.html">Document</a>

Procedures

According to ota-meshi's procedures, it is quite easy.
The following is what I did in less than 15 minutes.

1. Down and install Pandoc

2. Down and install Python because Panflute requies Python to run.

3. According to Panflute's guide I executed the following command.

   • no proxy

       > pip install panflute
     

   • behind proxy

       > pip install panflute --proxy http://<user id>:<password>@<proxy address>
     

4. I also install pypandoc so that I can avoid using external commands.

   • no proxy

       > pip install pypandoc
     

   • behind proxy

       > pip install pypandoc --proxy http://<user id>:<password>@<proxy address>
     

5. Copy and paste the following Python files to a temp folder.

   1. convert_link.py
   2. markdown_to_html.py

6. Move to the directory that contains markdown file(s).

7. Execute the following command.
   By the way, this command automatically convert README.md to index.html.
