Error producing PDF.

l.113 \thispagestyle

Generate Latex

pandoc --template=memoir-article.latex paper.md -o paper.tex

This was successful. It is uploaded here.

Observation

  1. Latex file was successfully generated.
  2. But PDF generation is unsuccessful.

Question

  1. Why PDF generation is causing that error? Any suggestions?
  2. Is this the correct way of choosing the font?
  3. How to find, what to put for mainfontoptions?

Thanks for the detailed report. My template is at fault: sorry! Specifying a titlefont will only work if you are also using xelatex or lualatex rather than the default pdflatex (that's what the fontspec error means). Looks like you're configured to use the CMU fonts with those engines, so pandoc --template=memoir-article.latex --xelatex paper.md -o paper.pdf ought to work. Otherwise, you can work around this by setting manual-title: true and writing your own commands in the body to typeset the title. I'll fix the template issue when I have a moment.
