--smart/-S has been removed. Use +smart or -smart extension instead #101

I get this error message: --smart/-S has been removed. Use +smart or -smart extension instead. For example: pandoc -f markdown+smart -t markdown-smart. Try pandoc --help for more information.

Current settings:

((citeproc . t) (bibliography "Grand_alliance.json") (standalone . t) (smart . t) (read . "org") (write . "docx"))

I am running pandoc mode v. 2.30.1 with Emacs 26.3 Am I doing something wrong or is this a change in Pandoc that needs to be updated in pandoc mode? Thanks for a very useful program!

Yes, the --smart switch is obsolete. But pandoc-mode has already been updated to reflect this: the smart option should be marked with an asterisk * in the pandoc-mode menu.

You should remove this option from your options file (simply unsetting in in the menu should be enough), and instead activate the smart extension (in the input format menu, there's an option X: Extensions).

I usually leave in obsolete switches, so that people who still rely on older Pandoc versions aren't left out. But if you keep your Pandoc installation up-to-date, you shouldn't use any of the options that are marked with an asterisk, as they are obsolete.

Thank you for this explanation. This solves my issue.
