Re: Bold Type in Cyrillic not working in Markdown to PDF

["'Marek Stepanek' via pandoc-discuss" <pandoc-discuss-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org>]

Thank you John for your answer. I am unable to implement your advices. I put up a little minimal (non) working example like follows:

***
---
documentclass: scrartcl
fontsize: 12pt
pagesize: a4paper
# maintfont: "Times New Roman"
colorlinks: red
urlcolor: mygray
header-includes:
- \usepackage{graphicx}
- \usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
- \usepackage[russian,english,french,main=ngerman]{babel}
# - \usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
# - \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
- \usepackage{xcolor}
- \usepackage{lscape}
- \definecolor{mygray}{gray}{.45}
include-before:
- \tableofcontents
- \bigskip
---

# Wir, Russen, haben zwei Heimaten: unser Russland und Europa.

```{=latex}
\selectlanguage{english}
```

Chapters in Cyrillic are not bold. Text between two asterisks are not rendered bold. Could somebody help me out?

I tried with 

```
	  --pdf-engine 	 xelatex								 \
```

Second Question: how to comment out lines in a Makefile?

Thank you for your help!

```{=latex}
\selectlanguage{russian}
% \newfontfamily\cyrillicfont[Script=Cyrillic]{Times New Roman}
```
# У нас, у русских, две Родины – наша Россия и Европа.

**Выхожу один я на дорогу;**\newline
Сквозь туман кремнистый путь блестит;\newline
Ночь тиха. Пустыня внемлет богу,\newline
И звезда с звездою говорит.

Makefile

***
all: save typeset open

.PHONY: all
save:
	w

typeset:
	pandoc                          	     				 \
	  --from         markdown       	     				 \
	  --to           latex	          	     				 \
	  --out			 mwe_cyrillic_bold.pdf					 \
	  --pdf-engine 	 pdflatex								 \
	  mwe_cyrillic_bold.md

open:
	open mwe_cyrillic_bold.pdf

Greetings
