Scholarly Metadata Lua - unexpected symbol

[trickard1000]

Hello.

My apologies if this is not the right place to locate such a query. I am trying to run scholarly metadata lua along with author info blocks to render a PDF from MD with a YAML frontmatter.

This was my input:

• pandoc --lua-filter=scholarly-metadata.lua --lua-filter=author-info-blocks.lua --citeproc --bibliography Library.yaml -s -o output.pdf template_test.md

This works without the filters to make a PDF. With the filters, I get:

• Error running filter scholarly-metadata.lua: scholarly-metadata.lua:8: unexpected symbol near '<'

My YAML, in case of relevance (I am noob):

title: "Dam the River: Ontological exclusion in global and Brazilian Integrated Water Resource Management" author:

• name: Thomas Rickard affiliation: Federal University of Minas Gerais email: trickard1000@gmail.com keywords: [Water, Governance, Ontology, Participation, Brazil] date: August, 2022

My thanks for any pointers, Thomas

The most likely cause is that the HTML was stored in the .lua file. That can happen if one clicks Save link on the file in the GitHub repo. Try to replace the Lua files with these instead: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pandoc/lua-filters/master/scholarly-metadata/scholarly-metadata.lua https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pandoc/lua-filters/master/author-info-blocks/author-info-blocks.lua
