errors trying to add new variables to template

errors trying to add new variables to template

[Hugh Esco]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1597 bytes --]

My client wants me to create pdfs from articles extracted from the 
internet.  

I am able to successfully use yaml at the top of a markdown document 
extracted from the html to define the title, author and date.  But it fails 
to render the subtitle, or institute  in the pdf.  Also the abstract, if 
defined in the yaml, shows up in the two-column body of the result file, 
rather than in the one column header of the result file.  

Any attempts to add support to the template (copied to ~/.pandoc/templates/ 
and invoked from the command line as --template=copied-template-name.latex) 
are failing for yaml defined variables url and publication, including 
variations on those names, in case those happen to be reserved keywords.  

```

Re: errors trying to add new variables to template

[John MacFarlane]

So you have a variable in your template
url_for_article
and you're setting

url_for_article: something

in your YAML metadata? That should work.

Re: errors trying to add new variables to template

[Bastien DUMONT]

You've placed $url_for_article$ before \begin{document}, which should trigger an error. Are you sure that Pandoc gives a PDF output using this template?

Re: errors trying to add new variables to template

[Hugh Esco]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3895 bytes --]

I tried moving the `$url_for_article$` below the `\begin{document}`, and it 
rendered the correct value, but as a part of the two-column formatted text 
body, rather than the one-column header for the paper.  

It appears that the `\maketitle` might be responsible for the one-column 
header with the `$title$`, `$author$` and `$date$`.  What I really need I 
guess is a means to inject the url and the publication name into that title 
block.  my custom --template= argument was created like so:

    `cp /usr/share/pandoc/data/templates/default.latex 
~/.pandoc/templates/default-2col-3.latex`

Re: errors trying to add new variables to template

[John MacFarlane]

You're really asking a LaTeX question, not a pandoc one.
Try looking at the eisvogel template for an example of a
more full featured LaTeX template.
