Corrupted .docx from Markdown with footnotes

Corrupted .docx from Markdown with footnotes

[bdh]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1664 bytes --]

Hello,

This is an issue with a lot of history, I'm seeing, but since everything I 
can pull up seems to have been resolved some time ago, I'm posting it 
again. Apologies if I'm beating a dead horse.

Whenever I produce a docx file with footnotes using a custom reference.docx 
file, the resulting document announces it's corrupted when I open it. Word 
is able to correct and open the file anyway, but only after giving me a 
warning that says: "One or more footnotes references in the document are 
missing or corrupt."

This occurs even simplifying things as far as I'm able:

* Create a file `test.txt` with the content: `Test.^[Test.]`
* Convert to docx *without *custom reference.docx in place. Resulting file 
opens fine.
* Copy the resulting file into my pandoc directory with no changes, and 
rename it as `reference.docx`
* Convert the same `test.txt` to docx, and the resulting file appears as 
corrupted.

I'm using pandoc 1.13.2 on Mac OS 10.10.2, and Word for Mac 2011.

This obviously isn't urgent, since Word corrects the error anyway, but I 
wanted to mention it.

I cannot reproduce this (pandoc 1.13.2, Mac OS 10.9.5, Word
for Mac 2011).  I used exactly the steps you outlined.

I encountered this problem, and I believe I fixed it last week with
commit ba59e544. If you are able to build from source, can you check to
see if that fixes the problem for you?

Sorry to be so long in getting back to this. If you’re unable to reproduce it, John, does that mean it’s something in my own setup? I’ve gone back and done the same experiment again, and confirmed.

I’d be happy to try the newer build, but I want to make sure I know what you mean. Will I get the version that includes your newer commit if I install through Haskell? If I do that, will I just end up with two parallel installations of pandoc on my system?

You'll need to install from the github source.
First, get and install the Haskell Platform:
http://www.haskell.org/platform/

Then

    git clone git://github.com/jgm/pandoc
    cd pandoc
    git submodule update --init
    cabal configure -fembed_data_files --enable-tests
    cabal build
    cabal test

The executable will be `dist/build/pandoc/pandoc`; it should be portable,
so you can move it wherever you like.  This method of installation won't
mess with your existing pandoc install.
