Re: Where is the data directory on Mac OS X?

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Starting with 1.12, all the data files are built into the binary.
This makes it possible to move the binary without breaking things.

You can use `--print-default-data-file` to print these to stdout.

You can also locally override them by putting files in ~/.pandoc.
