Oddity in LaTeX output from ReST file with :author: metadata

Oddity in LaTeX output from ReST file with :author: metadata

[T. Kurt Bond]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1504 bytes --]

I'm using pandoc version:

pandoc 2.11.2
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.22, texmath 0.12.0.3, skylighting 0.10.0.3,
citeproc 0.2, ipynb 0.1.0.1


I have a ReStructuredText file:

:title: A Test of RST Metadata
:author: T. Kurt Bond

This is some text.


When I process it to produce LaTeX output, like this:

pandoc -s -r rst -w latex --pdf-engine=xelatex --lua-filter=general.lua -o
author-broke-in-latex.ltx.pdf author-broke-in-latex.rst


I get the following error:

Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

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

l.64


When I look at the generated LaTeX, line 64 is right after the \maketitle but
the interesting thing is the \author invocation, which looks like this:

\author{\begin{enumerate}
\def\labelenumi{\Alph{enumi}.}
\setcounter{enumi}{19}
\tightlist
\item
  Kurt Bond
\end{enumerate}}


 Anybody have any ideas why this is happening?

Pandoc treats "T. Kurt Bond" as a list with an item "Kurt Bond" marked
with "T.". You can prevent this by escaping the dot:

    :title: A Test of RST Metadata
    :author: T\. Kurt Bond

    This is some text.

Oh, that makes sense.  Thanks!
