Re: Use of RCS with pandoc YAML blocks - SOLVED

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

I meant for you to define \noop as
\newcommand{\noop}[1]{#1} so it passes through the contained
command.  If you do that, and put in the single quotes so YAML
doesn't get confused, it works:


---
title: Test  Document
header-includes:
  - '\usepackage{fancyhdr}'
  - '\usepackage{lastpage}'
  - '\usepackage{rcs}'
  - '\newcommand{\noop}[1]{#1}'
  - '\noop{\RCS $Revision: 1.1 $}'
  - '\noop{\RCS $Date: 2014/08/18 14:24:49 $}'
  - '\pagestyle{fancy}'
  - '\fancyfoot[R]{Revision:\ \RCSRevision}'
  - '\fancyfoot[L]{\RCSDate}'
  - '\date{\RCSDate}'
