Re: How does pandoc invoke the various PDF engines?

[John MacFarlane]

It does show the arguments with --verbose.  There should be
a line like

[makePDF] Command line:
pdflatex "-halt-on-error" "-interaction" "nonstopmode"
"-output-directory"
"/private/var/folders/l0/2t_cldbj26j_vsd9_q2tsf400000gn/T/tex2pdf.-e002e67b30f1e34e"
"/private/var/folders/l0/2t_cldbj26j_vsd9_q2tsf400000gn/T/tex2pdf.-e002e67b30f1e34e/input.tex"

Note that pandoc does some image conversions (e.g. putting
things in formats acceptable to LaTeX) before running the
command.

Ah, I'm sorry I missed that obvious thing at the very top of the log. :) I 
was looking down by the "Run #1", "Run #2", etc. thinking that there would 
be different parameters would be around the different runs. 

My bad! Thanks for the help.
