While using pandoc command in a script in a loop, I found that the html files generated from markdown filename extension usually append
htmlafter filename. An example can be something as follows. Using filenametest.md, the generated html file istest.md.html. Since renaming files individually is a pain, I created the above script to fix that. I saw people use regex based renaming as well but I like this method.
