Excuse me for my insistence, but even in version 1.18 I cannot figure out how to make a custom repository of configuration files for groff ms or lua filters instead of copying and/or moving them around each working directory. Any solution?

Hello!

I was trying to avoid setting the same metadata on different files, and I read in the manual that yaml metadata are interpreted as markdown if loaded with `--metadata-file`, so that would not fly. So I tried to put them my customizations in different files for each backend (roughly, TeX and ms, to generate PDFs) and load them on the command line as follows

$ pandoc -B 2c.ms -H wideltr.ms -H es.ms --eol=lf -st ms filename.docx | groff -e -t -ms -Dutf8 | awk '{print > "filename.ps"}'

This works if *.ms are in the same working directory, but not if I put them in the data-dir built-in into pandoc's executable. Where should I put them so that I don't have to multiply copies in every working directory? I tried the base directory, and the templates subdirectory, of pandoc's data-dir, where I have my default.ms template. I'm working on Win10, both personal and professional.

Cheers!
