Trying to use a the Tutorial's Custom Writer for Pandoc, what CLI options need to use?

I am following the tutorial of the docs, example-modified-markdown-writer

I want to try it against the following file

input01.html


<body>
<h1>My Document</h1>

<code>
This code will be recognised
</code>

</body>

custom-write01A.lua


function Writer (doc, opts)
  local filter = {
    CodeBlock = function (cb)
      -- only modify if code block has no attributes
      if cb.attr == pandoc.Attr() then
        local delimited = '```\n' .. cb.text .. '\n```'
        return pandoc.RawBlock('markdown', delimited)
      end
    end
  }
  return pandoc.write(doc:walk(filter), 'gfm', opts)
end

Template = pandoc.template.default 'gfm'

Now I can do the default markdown processing by

pandoc -f html -t markdown input01.html

Or I could be picking the custom writer

pandoc -f html input01.html -L custom-writer01.lua

Which is giving me

<h1 id="my-document">My Document</h1>
<p><code> This code will be recognised </code></p>

I was expecting the output in the gfm

I expected the output to be as specified per code (In a fenced code block)


# My Document

```
This code will be recognised
```

Instead we get the in-line codeblock as the same as in -t markdown

# My Document

` This code will be recognised `
