${HOME} in defaults files

${HOME} in defaults files

[BPJ]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 728 bytes --]

In a defaults file in the current directory I have the lines:

``````yaml
defaults:
  - ${HOME}/style/ling-html2pdf.yaml
``````

I'm sure that file exists but pandoc complains and says it doesn't. Might
Pandoc's idea of what `${HOME}` expands to differ from the shell's idea of
what `$HOME` expands to?

I forgot to mention the vital points that `${HOME}...` works with `css: []`
in the same file and that everything works if I use an absolute path in the
`defaults: []` entry.

I'm pretty sure that the expansion doesn't work for 'defaults:',
but I can't now recall whether there was a reason for that.
Maybe submit a bug report?

I will, because this breaks my workflow where I use the same top level
defaults file on different machines.

I am not sure if this would help, but we use `${USERDATA}` e.g.

```yaml
css:
- "${USERDATA}/epub-css.css"

epub-fonts: 
- "${USERDATA}/fonts/fontname-*.ttf"
```
This is the root of your folder with the `defaults` folder/ `defaults.yaml` 
file in it.

We then call Pandoc with `--data-dir` argument if it is not the default 
location and of course your desired defaults file with `--defaults=xxxx`
