Assuming that the version string comes from the command line at compile time, I would pass it in as a variable (-V) and alter the output template to decide what to do with it.

In my case, I have a custom HTML template containing

$if(favicon)$
<link rel="icon" href="$favicon$" type="image/icon type">

and my invocation of pandoc looks something like this (you could replace "/d.png" by a shell expansion)

pandoc -V favicon="/d.png" -f markdown -t html --template="custom-template.html"

Hi all,
I wanted to ask why there's no global --lot and --lof options in pandoc as it is for --toc?
I want to add both to the docx writer (halfway there) how can I check from the option if the user has requested them?

What is your opinion they should be added to the general options?

question n2:
- how can i preprocess the document before the conversion? I need to replace a variable taking it from git (I need to extract the latest document version and add it to the generated doc file.

Thanks,
Nick
