Default --defaults file

Default --defaults file

[Lyndon Drake]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 986 bytes --]

Hi,

The (relatively) new --defaults support is wonderful. I wondered if there 
is any chance of there being a "default" --defaults file. This would help 
in general (just invoke pandoc without having to specify defaults and get 
whatever I have set as my default behaviour) but also specifically for e.g. 
hugo which has no way to alter the command-line arguments when it invokes 
pandoc. One suggestion is to put a shell script called pandoc in my path 
ahead of /usr/local/bin/pandoc and get the same behaviour but personally 
I'd prefer something in pandoc.

Best,
Lyndon

I'm reluctant to do this because of the security implications.
Somebody could place a file in your ~/.pandoc and it would cause
an arbitrary executable (filter) to be run each time you run
pandoc!  Shell script idea works and seems safer.

Ah yes that makes sense — and in fact my main reason for wanting it is to 
include pandoc-citeproc so the shell script is probably the way forward in 
my case.

Also you don't have to call your shell script "pandoc". My (Perl) script is
called "runpandoc". It used to parse command line options from text files.
Now it just looks for a pandoc.yaml file in the pwd, its parent or the home
directory and shoves it onto the command line.
