However, for generated files coming from pandoc, this possibility is not given =E2=80=93 except if the created intermediate LaTeX document gets manually modified, but this completely defeats the very purpose of pandoc. > On the licence, I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that you can > distribute a modified longtable.sty according to LPPL3 [...] I've read the LPPL3. However =E2=80=93 and this is probably a bug itself= =C2=A0=E2=80=93, the following text can be found at the very beginning of longtable.sty: %% This file may only be distributed together with a copy of the %% LaTeX `Tools Bundle'. You may however distribute the LaTeX `Tools %% Bundle' without such generated files. %%=20 %% The list of all files belonging to the LaTeX `Tools Bundle' is %% given in the file `manifest.txt'. It's quite clear that the `Tools Bundle' isn't a single file... > 6a you modify the \ProvidesPackage string so it says you modified > it. >=20 > 6d2 Tell people they can get the original from CTAN. It is my plan to add a remark, of course. To avoid any issues, I could even rename the file itself to, say, `longtable-fixed.sty', since I have control over pandoc's LaTeX template. > If you think that is not the case, then certainly I can give you a > modified longtable.sty under these conditions. This would be great! However, a general fix to longtable.sty is a *much* better solution in the long run :-) Werner --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= pandoc-discuss" group.
