[Beamer Output] Table caption with markdown triggers error AGAIN

[bozito]

Hi, It seems that there are still some issues with tables and beamer. The following file: tst.mmd 1 # Part 1 2 3 ## Slide 1 4 5 pipe|table 6 ----|----- 7 1 | 2

Results in an error when trying to create a beamer pdf:

pandoc_test $ pandoc -t beamer -o tst.pdf tst.mmd pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source. ! Undefined control sequence. \beamer@doifinframe ...ble}[c]{@{}ll@{}} \toprule \addlinespace pipe & table... l.67 \end{frame}

The various fix proposed in #1200 (adding \usepackage{caption} in the header or the beamer template) does not solve the problem. Should #1200 be reopened?

Cheers,

Antoine

Hehe, I've just found a fix: I added caption and booktabs in the beamer preamble:

47 $if(tables)$ 48 \usepackage{longtable} 49 % These lines are needed to make table captions work with longtable: 50 \makeatletter 51 \def\fnum@table{\tablename~\thetable} 52 \makeatother 53 \usepackage{caption} 54 \usepackage{booktabs} 55 $endif$

The default beamer template has included booktabs since Dec. 2013 and caption since April 2014. Are you using old versions of templates for some reason? (Maybe in ~/.pandoc/templates?) Are you using a recent version of pandoc?

The version of pandoc I'm using is the one provided by the depos of Ubuntu 14.04 (the current LTS). I have found other issues that might be related to this "old" version. Is there a ppa with a newer version?

There's a new 64-bit deb I maintain at https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases

OK, I'm using it and it solves the problem. But where are the default templates with this package? With the ubuntu package they were in /usr/share/pandoc/data/templates/ Are they hardcoded in the binary?

[jgm]

It depends on how pandoc was compiled. It is possible to compile pandoc with an option that bakes the data files into the binary. And that's what we do with the distribution binaries (to make them more portable).
