Multi File Input - Problems with image paths

Multi File Input - Problems with image paths

[Juergen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1555 bytes --]

Hello,
I have the following problem (Windows):
When creating a PDF consisting of multiple MD files, the images are not 
found.

Situation:
Root folder

    Folder1
        Image folder (contains the images, e.g 001.png)
        index.md

    Folder2
        image folder
        index.md

In the MD file the images are defined with relative paths:
![](image/001.png)

The prompt is started in the root folder:

pandoc -N  --template=template.tex --variable mainfont="Arial" --variable 
sansfont="Arial" --variable monofont="Arial" --variable fontsize=12pt 
D:\Dokumente\5D-Cloud\Documentation\example\e1\index.md 
D:\Dokumente\5D-Cloud\Documentation\example\e2\index.md 
D:\Dokumente\5D-Cloud\Documentation\example\e3\index.md 
--latex-engine=xelatex --toc -o "multi-md.pdf"

The PDF document was created correctly - but the images are missing
I can not change the folder structure.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks a lot
Jürgen

[John MacFarlane]

Pandoc will resolve relative paths relative to the
working directory, not the directory containing
the md file.

In fact, it doesn't have any way of determining
the latter.  The contents of all command line
arguments are concatenated before the parser gets
called:

    pandoc a b

is more or less equivalent to

    cat a b | pandoc

as is standard for unix programs that can be used
as pipes.

So I'm afraid you'll have to reorganize a bit in order to
use pandoc.
