PDF Fails to build with some of the standard Latex colours

PDF Fails to build with some of the standard Latex colours

['Norman Dunbar' via pandoc-discuss]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2132 bytes --]

Good Morning all,

I have searched the archives for a solution, I've read the user guide and 
googled for help, but to no avail I'm afraid.

My system is as follows:

   - Pandoc version 1.19.1 on Windows 7 64 bit.
   - MiKTeX version 2.9 installed (for pdflatex, latex etc)
   

When I attempt to run the following command, to convert Markdown to PDF, I 
get an illegal color message:

pandoc -f markdown  -o README.pdf README.md --variable papersize=a4 --toc --variable 
urlcolor=maroon


The error displayed is:

! LaTeX Error: Undefined color `maroon'.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

pandoc: Error producing PDF

I tried with all the standard colours mentioned on the page 
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Colors#Predefined_colors as linked from 
the Pandoc manual, and only the following (in lowercase) will work:

   - Black
   - Blue
   - Cyan
   - Green
   - Red
   - White
   - Yellow
   
But the manual states that all of the ones listed will work. All of the 
following give the same errors as above:

   - Brown
   - Darkgray
   - Gray
   - LightGray
   - Lime
   - Olive
   - Orange
   - Pink
   - Purple
   - Teal
   - Violet
   
And I am using the colour names in lower case each time, but I've tried 
upper case, mixed case, wrapped in double quotes, single quotes - nothing 
appears to have worked.

Appreciate any help, especially pointers to whatever I have missed out 
there on the WWW. Thanks.


Cheers,
Norm.

​And now I have noticed I was wrong and “Maroon” is used in the template.
Sorry for the noise.​

I think the color name needs to be capitalized: "Maroon" and not "maroon".
I do that error rather often.

Morning All,

@VJ and @BPJ - thank you for your replies. Very helpful. In fact, solved!

My problem appears to be that I do need to use the exact letter case of the 
nice multi coloured table shown on the linked page (
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Colors#Predefined_colors) I was 
actually thinking that I could only use the basic colours listed above the 
table. However, thanks to @BPJ, I see that I can use the xcolor package's 
colours, and they do work as expected.

I was certain that I had tried upper case, lower case and mixed case, but 
obvioulsy, only with an illegal colour - I was intending to use lightgray 
or darkgray for my links, but those are not permitted in any letter case, 
so I failed miserably. I should have tried some others too.

Strangely, "blue" and "blue" are acceptable, "brown" fails, but "Brown" 
will work. Ah well, I'll just use the correct letter casing and I should 
survive!

Once again, many thanks.

Oh, and also a huge thank you to John M for Pandoc. I use it to create all 
sorts of documents here at work where the accepted requirement is for Word 
"docx" format documents, but Word has a nasty tendency to destroy whatever 
formatting I use if I dare to rub something out etc. With Pandoc and a 
reference "docx" file, (almost) everything just works. I am most impressed. 
If only I could figure out how to get inline code stuff to render as per my 
style, life would be prefect! ;-)


Cheers,
Norm.

I'm hoping that with the next release you'll be able to
specify a custom syntax highlighting theme using a
JSON file.  The code is mostly there in the new skylighting
library; we just need to implement the options in pandoc:

Good Morning John,

that sounds like something to look forward to, once I learn JSON I suppose! 

My problem with inline code formatting isn't a Pandoc problem, as far as I 
can see, I have a style defined in my reference docx file, and Pandoc is 
correctly setting  the style, it's just Word that ignores it. I've 
"disassembled" the docx file and looked at the content that Pandoc creates, 
and it's all correct - as far as I can see. The inline code is given a 
verbatim (or verbatim something, I forget) style which is one of the ones I 
have defined my way in the reference docx file. 

Anyway, it's not an unsurmountable problem!

Once again, many thanks for Pandoc.


Cheers,
Norm.
