Hi, and sorry to resurrect an old thread but this seems a pretty important 
issue to me. In lieu of a fix for this in Pandoc (which seems unlikely, for 
understandable reasons) could you please explain how to use that latex 
preamble code -- I just get an error when I try, with the whole lot copied 
into the default pandoc template and using xelatex (which I have to because 
of the languages I need to use):

! You can't use `\spacefactor' in vertical mode.
\@->\spacefactor
                 \@m {}
l.249 \end{quote}

Unfortunately I'm a shameless straight-to-pdf user, with very little 
knowledge of Latex!
