Cannot find reference.docx

Cannot find reference.docx

Hi. Your amazing program is working fine, and now I'm moving on to 
fine-tuning.

In the docs, it says that for Windows installs,  there is a "Default user 
data directory" at   C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\pandoc

Indeed, typing "pandoc --version" at the command prompt tells me that is so.

However, there is no such folder in ..\Roaming  (Unless it's a hidden 
folder?)

I was presuming that a default reference.docx file came with the pandoc 
installation, and would be there. I can't find this file anywhere on my 
computer.

Do I have to create a new pandoc folder under  
C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\   and place my own reference.docx file 
into it?

Or was my install using the msi unsuccessful and I should reinstall pandoc.

 Other than that, all good.

If you want a custom reference.docx, then you need to create the
folder and place it there.

For most formats, you can do:

pandoc --print-default-template=$FOO

However, this doesn't seem to work for docx, presumably because it's a
binary format.

There are instructions in the manual, under --reference-doc.

Exactly.  Pandoc doesn't create any files or directories  unless you
explicitly tell it to.
