probably a syntax error in a YAML metadata block. can you provide the input
(or at least the first part of it)?

Ah, I think that horizontal rules are getting interpreted as YAML metadata
block delimiters.

I tried changing all "---" to "- - -" (
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#horizontal-rules) and everything is now fine.

Perhaps there are some heuristics that control whether pandoc decides that
a given block is YAML. Maybe lines like this one are being taken to be YAML?

`_ACTION: "vs2005"`

 I don't know whether there's a way around this without editing the input
file.

The heuristic applied by pandoc is "if there's a line containing the
string `---`, and if that line is not followed by a blank line, and if
there's a closing `---` later in the text, then treat it as a YAML
block.

So adding a blank line after `---` should fix this as well.

Thanks. Is that documented? From a quick scan I didn't see it at
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block (but maybe I
missed it).

I forgot i'd better believe i put wrong command. Here'd be the valid one:


*$ pandoc -f markdown -t pdf  GENIe_scripting_reference.md -o 
GENIe_scripting_reference.pdfpandoc: GENIe_scripting_reference.md: 
openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)*

as i'm noob in mark up/down file processing, still have no idea how to 
solve it

I'm confused. You seem to have taken a step back (the latest error is
saying that the input file doesn't exist). You started with this:

*$ pandoc GENIe_scripting_reference.md -o GENIe_scripting_reference.pdf*
*YAML parse exception at line 9, column 9: mapping values are not allowed
in this context*

Starting with the downloaded file, this worked for me:


*$ perl -pe 's/^---$/---\n/igs' GENIe_scripting_reference.md
>GENIe_scripting_reference.fixed.md
<http://GENIe_scripting_reference.fixed.md>$ pandoc
GENIe_scripting_reference.fixed.md
<http://GENIe_scripting_reference.fixed.md> -o
GENIe_scripting_reference.pdf*

Note that Albert's suggestion (i.e., ensure that "---" lines are always
followed by a blank line) is much better than mine. My suggestion caused
problems with unintentional tables (due, I suppose, to "- - -" lines not
being followed by blank lines).
