Draft watermark appears even though "draft = no" #2

Hi there, I'm having trouble with my PDF without a watermark. This heading produces a watermark.

size: 11pt draft: no head: address: '616 Address' city: CIty state: CA zip: 94040 phone: '(312) 123-4567' email: 'email@university.edu' dept: "XX" sig: include: yes sign: yes name: 'Anna Weichselbraun, PhD' post: Lecturer secondpost:

And when I %% out the watermark and delete the "draft" line from the markdown file I get some other error about the Image file...

annaweichselbraun commented 6 years ago

this error:

Error producing PDF.
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \includegraphics

My first guess would be that it has something to do with that final error you mentioned (the watermark itself is at line 57 - 60 in cltemplate.tex. Hopefully this gets clearer after #1 is fixed.

Yes, I think so too. I tried commenting out lines 57-60 and would then run into the other error.

I am on macOs, installed pandoc (2.3) with brew, and still have the same bug.

From http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html (search for "Using Variables in templates") I understand that boolean variables as YAML should take the values 'true' or 'false', rather than 'yes' or 'no'.

In fact, commenting line 57-60 in cltemplate.tex (or deleting them) gives the same error if the YAML value is set as "draft: false".

I do not understand why - under these circumstances - one gets the error

! Undefined control sequence.

\includegraphics It is as if the (LaTeX) package to include graphics is not included explicitly but it gets "inherited", so to speak, by the watermark package inclusion....

Adding the line

\usepackage{graphicx} % Needed to insert images into the document

and using 'true' and 'false', instead of 'yes' and 'no', works!
