! Missing \endgroup inserted when converting md to pdf

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1632 bytes --]

Hi,

I have a relatively large markdown text file that used to be able to be 
converted to pdf but recently has started displaying the following;

pandoc "cli-notes.md" --toc -V documentclass=standalone -V fontsize=12pt -V 
mainfont=Arial -V sansfont=Arial -V monofont="Courier New"  -o 
"cli-notes.pdf" -V geometry:margin=1cm --latex-engine=xelatex
Process started >>>
! Missing \endgroup inserted.
<inserted text> 
                \endgroup 
l.59 

pandoc: Error producing PDF
<<< Process finished. (Exit code 43)

It converts to html fine but the pdf conversion no longer works. I have 
tried converting to tex which completes successfully and was hoping to be 
able to find the issue in the tex file but I am unfamiliar with the syntax. 
I suspect there is some formatting in the source .md file that it doesnt 
like. Can anyone offer some insight as to what to look for.

I am using notepad++ with pandoc 1.17.1 and nppexec, I get the same error 
from the command line.

If anyone can offer some guidance it would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Jools

Usually the best way to solve problems like this is to
generate tex (using the same options as before, but
-o cli-notes.tex instead of .pdf.

Then run xelatex directly on cli-notes.tex. This should give
you more information about where the build is failing.

You could also try adding the --verbose flag, which will
print the full latex intermediary file and give you the
full latex log.

thanks for the input

It seems to be happening for everything now (might have been like that 
before but I was just doing some more checking).

I just did it on the attached test.md and I still get the error. I'm going 
to do more testing in the windows setup I have and may see if it does the 
same in a linux rig. I will probably end up removing latex and reinstalling 
it in Windows just in case its one of the utilities.


I'll post back here when I get some more info.

thanks

Jools

[John MACFARLANE]

If it happens for everything, perhaps you have a broken
default latex template.  Check your ~/.pandoc/templates directory
for a default.latex.

Do you have any raw LaTeX in your markdown files?
Pandoc is known to misinterpret some LaTeX constructs, producing output
which LaTeX may choke on or which otherwise mangles the document. If so you
can try this (python) filter which I wrote which allows you to insert
arbitrary raw LaTeX as 'code blocks'.

NB you will need python and pandocfilters
