mixed use of eisvogel.tex and eisvogel.latex

[Brilator]

The README.md says eisvogel.latex, which does not exist (at least not in root). The docs/index.md refers to both. Best, DB

I am wondering about this too... It also says this in the readme.md file instructing how to move it to the pandoc templates folder. So I moved the eisvogel.tex file to templates and added th e.tex extension to the pandoc --template command and I get an error: "template" (line 466, column 16): unexpected "/" expecting "." or ")$"

The file eisvogel.latex is part of every packaged release in the zip or .tar.gz file (https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template/releases). The repository contains the latest eisvogel.tex that can be renamed manually. I would recommend to download a packaged release though.

The docs folder contains unfinished GitHub pages based documentation that should not be used. The latest documentation is in the README.md.

I've got the same problem with version 2.4.0, but not with 2.3.0:

Here is a POC:

Test file to convert to PDF from Markdown:

$ cat test.md

---
book: true
---

# test heading

test text.

To show the Dockerfile content:

$ cat Dockerfile

    && version=$(echo -n "v2.4.0") \
    #&& version=$(echo -n "v2.3.0") works in this setup \
    #&& version=$(echo -n $latest | rev | cut -d '/' -f 1 | rev) cannot use this one, because of the error in 2.4.0 \
    && wget --directory-prefix /tmp/eisvogel $download_url/download/$version/Eisvogel-$(echo -n $version | sed 's/v//g').tar.gz \
    && tar xf /tmp/eisvogel/Eisvogel-*.tar.gz --directory=/tmp/eisvogel \
    && mv /tmp/eisvogel/eisvogel.latex /usr/share/pandoc/data/templates/ \
    && rm -rf /tmp/eisvogel

RUN bash

Depending on the version what you filled in (v2.4.0 or v2.3.0) it will fail or generate the PDF.

Thanks a lot for mentioning, version above v2.3.0 is not working well indeed. I tested on ubuntu 20.04, locally (not docker).
