ox-pandoc inserts file:

[stvharman]

export via pandoc inserts "file:" whenever there is a link to a file. For example

file:images/tree.jpg

This creates problems in an import to pelican and results in broken links. If this phrase is left out, then there is no problem.

When I try pandoc from command line, it does not insert "file:". Would it be possible to remove this behavior from ox-pandoc.

[kawabata]

Could you describe which format you tried to export? Also, could you show what line is appeared in "Message" buffer when export is done?

Something like

Running pandoc with args: (-f org -t markdown -o /Users/kawabata/test.md --parse-raw --mathjax --standalone /Users/hogehoge/test.tmp956MeQ.org)

should be appeared in "Message" buffer.

Thanks. Mine is exactly the same as you posted. The only difference is that I am exporting to html If I use ox-pandoc, I get

if I use pandoc from the command line, I get <img src="../images/figure.jpg" The second one is what I want.

[sebhahn]

I can confirm this error. I'm exporting from org to latex/pdf. Is there any workaround?

[sebhahn]

Is this problem coming from pandoc or ox-pandoc? Can we expect a fix soon?

[kawabata]

I could not grasp exactly what would be the problem.

The argument passwd to "pandoc" command is displayed to Messages buffer, so I think by reproducing the problem with standalone "pandoc" command with arguments, I think you could identify where the problem is.

If you execute the pandoc command by yourself and the problem is reproduced, then this is a problem of "pandoc" command.

If your desired command arguments and what "ox-pandoc" passed to "pandoc" command differ, then it may be a problem of "ox-pandoc".

In that case, please send me an ideal arguments that should be passed to "pandoc" command from "ox-pandoc", to see if it can be fixed.

The error message is

l.106 \includegraphics{file:./images/test.png} pandoc: Could not find image file:./images/test.png', skipping... ! Package pdftex.def Error: File file:./images/test.png' not found.

but file: shouldn't be part of the path, guess it's coming from org-mode?

the image has been included with [[.//images/test.png]]

I'm I doing some wrong?

[kawabata]

I think that this part is not related to ox-pandoc. As I've test with simple file, I got the output of "\includegraphics{./test.png}" instead of "\includegraphics{file:./test.png}" where the original text is "[[./test.png]]".

Could you check the version of pandoc you are using? I'm currently using 1.13.2.

[sebhahn]

pandoc 1.15.1.1 org-mode 8.3.1

[kawabata]

I've updated to 1.15. When I convert the following text to latex format with `org-pandoc-export-to-latex',

#+TITLE: test
* head
this is [[img.png]] test.

then the output is as follows:

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{head}\label{head}

this is \includegraphics{img.png} test.

\end{document}

I still don't quite understand why "file:' is inserted. Could you try following command to see if it occurs without ox-pandoc?

pandoc -f org -t latex -o ~/test.tex --parse-raw --standalone ~/test.org

[sebhahn]

Suddenly it works and I don't know why...

Is it possible to add a caption to an image?

[kawabata]

something like this?

http://orgmode.org/manual/Images-and-tables.html

[sebhahn]

Ok, I had #+CAPTION: after the image, which didn't work.

How is it possible to cite the image: [@fig:name] doesn't seem to do the trick?

[kawabata]

It seems your problem concerns with the contents of org document, and that the problem is about "pandoc", but not "ox-pandoc". `ox-pandoc' is merely a wrapper of "pandoc" software, and it does not interfere with the contents (unless you specify preprocessor), including bibliographic citations.

Could you check to see if you couldn't reproduce the problem with plain "pandoc" command?

e.g.

pandoc -f org -t latex -o ~/test.tex --parse-raw --standalone ~/test.org

Regards,

[sebhahn]

Using the plain "pandoc" command I've found that

#+CAPTION: insert figure caption here #+NAME: fig:1 #+LABEL: fig:1 [[img.png]]

does create

\begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics{img.png} \caption{insert figure caption here} \end{figure}

and the reference [@fig:1] gets correctly translated to fig.~\ref{fig:1} (using pandoc-citeproc), but it doesn't work because \label{fig:1} is missing in the Latex output? Where is the problem org-mode or pandoc?

edit: exporting with standard org-mode export to latex gives:

\caption{\label{fig:orgparagraph1} insert figure caption here}

still not the right label, but at least it is in the latex code

[sebhahn]

coming back to the real issue, which is solved now, I know where it comes from.

by adding ./ to e.g. [[./path/img.png]] this will be translated to \includegraphics{fig:./path/img.png}', whereas just using[[path/img.png]]is fine and leads to\includegraphics{path/img.png}`.

this kind of reference [[./path/img.png]] is however needed for the latex org-exporter

I think this issue can be closed.
