get babel error - Githubissues

p-phillips commented 7 years ago

Hi

I get the following error:

! Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option.
See the babel package documentation for explanation.

I have tried setting lang to en and english in the YAML block but to no avail.

Any ideas ? Pete

Can you please provide an example markdown file and the versions of Pandoc and LaTeX distribution you're using?

It should be

lang: en

Look out for the example file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JensErat/pandoc-scrlttr2/master/example-letter.md

I must have missed the update on this issue -- thank you for replying @nextlevelshit.

Indeed, the lang parameter changed as it did on the upstream pandoc project some time ago. The variable is not specific to this template at all.
