File eisvogel.latex not found in resource path #49

Closed mrichman closed 6 years ago

mrichman commented 6 years ago

I have eisvogel.latex (renamed from eisvogel.tex) in $HOME/.pandoc/templates.

When I run pandoc my.md -o my.pdf --from markdown --template eisvogel --listings I get the error:

File eisvogel.latex not found in resource path

Please advise.

There seems to be an issue with the user data directory and the lookup of latex files in version 2.2.2:

Fix regression finding templates in user data directory (#4777). Under version 2.2.1 and prior pandoc found latex templates in the templates directory under the data directory, but this broke in 2.2.2.

The new pandoc version 2.2.2.1 should fix this issue. You can download it from the release page.

I'm on 2.2.2:

pandoc --version

I was able to work around this by using --template ~/.pandoc/templates/eisvogel.latex

I accidentally wrote the wrong version number in the first comment. The problem is fixed in version 2.2.2.1. So you just have to update. Sorry for the confusion.

Bug seems present in Pandoc 2.3.1. Pandoc doesn't even look in the data-dir it seems.

I have the same issue with pandoc 2.7.3, should --data-dir be fixed?

cagix commented 4 years ago

according to the pandoc manual in section "General writer options" pandoc would search for template files in $DATADIR/templates/, where $DATADIR can be specified using the --data-dir option ...

that is, pandoc requires a certain subfolder structure in $DATADIR. you can not specify the folder containing the template directly via the option --data-dir ...

just tried this (pandoc 2.7.3): created a subfolder templates/ in my working copy, copied eisvogel.tex to this subfolder, opened a terminal at examples/book/ and issued pandoc book.md -o book.pdf --template eisvogel.tex --data-dir ../../ ... worked pretty well :)

ok, pandoc book.md -o book.pdf --template ../../eisvogel.tex works, too ...
