Hi all,

I found several items on the web about customizing my pdf output from Pandoc.

I am calling pandoc with the following parameters:

pandoc *.md -H seccolor.tex -o test_doc.pdf --table-of-contents --number-sections --indented-code-classes=javascript --highlight-style=monochrome -V mainfont="Palatino" -V documentclass=report -V papersize=A5 -V geometry:margin=1in -V monofont="Courier" --pdf-engine=xelatex

The seccolor.tex file is:

\usepackage{titlesec}
\definecolor{DPurple}{rgb}{.75,.52,.153}
\titleformat*{\section}{\color{DPurple}}
% \sectionfont{\color{DPurple}}

When i run the command i get:

Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: File `titlesec.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:
! Emergency stop.
<read *>

l.98 \definecolor

Should i be using another style? I WAS able to generate a standard PDF, but just wanted to add a splash of color. From what I read, this snippet of TeX should work.

Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Russ
