Hi —- I think I might have found a bug. I haven’t been able to find a 
discussion on this topic, so I am posting here first in case I am wrong. 

It happens when converting a simple .md file into .pdf using a YAML 
front-matter (pasted belor). I would get the following error: 

Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              

l.51 A

When issuing the --verbose command I come up with a little more detail 
(just pasting the relevant section, full output attached).

As you can see, the relevant problem seems to be when trying to render 
author, when parsing the fields in the YAML front-matter the author field 
is ignored:

\title{Title works fine}
Author B. Problem
\date{2020-04-15}

I am working with MacOs High Sierra 10.13.6
pandoc 2.9.2.1
pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020)
kpathsea version 6.3.2

In a different computer, with older versions of both LaTeX (TexLive 2017) 
and Pandoc (2.9.1.1) the problem does not exist and the file compiles with 
no issue whatsoever. I did check however the template pandoc -D latex in 
case it was corrupted for some reason, but the file is the same in both 
computers. I also tried different ways of introducing the author 
information in the YAML front-matter, following the alternatives documented 
in the User’s Guide but all led to the same error.

Of course, when I remove the author from the YAML front-matter the file is 
converted as expected.

Does this work?

Hi --- much love to the community. I think I might have found a bug, so
posting here first in case I am wrong.

It happens when converting a simple \texttt{.md} file into
\texttt{.pdf}. I would get the following error:

Are you sure you're using the default template, and not
a custom template (perhaps shadowing the default from
~/.pandoc/templates or ~/.local/share/pandoc/templates)?

The template should contain the line

\author{$for(author)$$author$$sep$ \and $endfor$}

Gee, yes you are correct. I somehow relied on ‘pandoc -D latex’ to identify 
the default template, which gave me the original file. But somehow (on 
~/.local/share/pandoc/templates) I had a corrupted version. I must have 
changed something a few weeks ago and forgot about it, for I am using a 
custom template for my dissertation. Anyway, thanks for your help and 
making writing a true pleasure.
