Hi! I'm trying to run tufte-pandoc-css but I have this error

Can you help me please?

Hm, I can't seem to reproduce this.

• What operating system are you on?
• Did you compile pandoc-sidenote from source, or did you use a precompiled binary?
• If you compiled from source, did you use Stack to build the project?

If you answer those questions I might be able to suggest a solution, but off the top of my head I can't think of anything.

• I'm running MacOS Sierra
• I used brew

I'm upgrading my pandoc installation to see if that works

[jez]

Also, version of pandoc are you using? You might want to try upgrading to version 1.18 and try again.

now it's working @jez !!! please add the requirement of pandoc 1.18 :)

[jez]

Done. Thanks for your patience!

I don't see any Pandoc version constraint in the cabal file. Also, this issue is still marked open.

[jez]

Is that not what these lines accomplish?

I noted you edited the stack file, but I'm not familiar with how stack works - isn't it a totally different packaging system from cabal and so the constraint wouldn't apply to anyone installing using cabal install or from Hackage?

Incidentally, while it would be good to upload this to Hackage, right now cabal check tells me that there needs to be version dependencies put on base. I've been out of Haskell long enough that I don't know what the right thing to do there would be, so I'm telling you.

[jez]

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I'm not all that familiar with Haskell packaging either. I might look into it.
