Should paper size setting be case sensitive (a4 vs A4)?

Should paper size setting be case sensitive (a4 vs A4)?

[Stefan Björk]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 966 bytes --]

I just realised pandoc refuses to set paper size to A4 if I specify "-V 
papersize:A4", I have to use "-V papersize:a4". This makes sense from the 
point of LaTeX or ConTeXt, but perhaps not from the point of the user, 
where the real world paper format is called A4 and not a4.

Perhaps pandoc should treat paper sizes case insensitive, i. e. convert any 
value to lower case?

Stefan,

in ConTeXt, the following source gives an error:

    \setuppapersize[a4]
    \starttext
    \input zapf
    \stoptext

It should read "\setuppapersize[A4]".

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

It would be nice to be able to use either a4 or A4, for
either LaTeX or ConTeXt.  This could be achieved with a
bit of effort in the LaTeX and ConTeXt writers.
I suggest opening an issue for this on the github tracker.

I've made the change already.
