Dear John,

thank you for your reply!

I realized that I use Pandoc compiled for Windows and that is probably the reason it behaves like this in Cygwin environment.

Changing = to space does not work either, and I assume it depends on the differencies in environments.

I can workaround both of these problems (or use correct software in the right environment).

Thank you!

Regards

Hans

Cygwin is tough. Certain things about pandoc's
file path handling depend on the platform pandoc
is compiled on. So a pandoc compiled on windows
may have expectations that are not met in Cygwin.

See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5451
which may be somehow related.

You can put up an issue on this if you like.

About the other issue:

This is because ~ is interpreted by the shell, normally, but
in this context it is just passed on literally to pandoc.
If you try with a space in place of = it should work.
