My attempts to test this yield errors looking like this:
```
$ pandoc --defaults `pwd`/defaults --latex-engine=lualatex
--template=my_client.latex my_source_file.pdc -o my_result_file.pdf
pandoc: unrecognized option `--defaults'
Try pandoc --help for more information.
```
looking at the --help output yields this:
```
$ pandoc --help | grep default
-D FORMAT --print-default-template=FORMAT
--print-default-data-file=FILE
--default-image-extension=extension
```
but no `--defaults` switch. What am I missing here, please?
