Subject: RFC: remove default template search for custom writers
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 21:18:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bkqf344r.fsf@zeitkraut.de> (raw)
When pandoc is called with `-s`/`--standalone`, but without an explicit
template`, a template will be searched in the "templates" directory of
the data dir. The current method is to search for the template in file
`templates/default.FORMAT`, where FORMAT is the chosen output format.
We are discussing whether this feature can be removed when using a
custom output format, i.e., a custom writer. There are multiple issues
with this feature in its current form when used with custom writers, and
it might be easiest not to search for a default template at all.
There are considerations to replace the current behavior with a
[different mechanism], but existing custom writers would need to be
updated.
If you are using the default template search with custom writers and
believe that removing/replacing that feature would be a mistake, then
please let us know.
