I need to use Pandoc with absolute input and output paths in a shell 
script, like so:

#!/bin/bash

for f in "/users/myname/desktop/test/input/"*.md; \
do \
pandoc "$f" \
--standalone \
-o "/users/myname/desktop/test/output/"${f%.md}.htm; \
done

… which gives an error:

/users/myname/desktop/test/output//users/myname/desktop/test/input/1.htm: 
openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

(Removing the output path will render the files in the source directory, as 
expected.)

I realise the problem is probably my limited understanding of how the shell 
works, not something with Pandoc. I still hope someone here can help. Thank 
you.
