Getting entry of geometry in latex template

Getting entry of geometry in latex template

[Fabian Sch]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 807 bytes --]

Hey guys, I am desperately trying to get the value of geometry.right inside 
my latex template. 
I want to do
hshift=-$geometry.right$
but geometry.right seems to be always empty although if I print just 
geometry[, ] I get
top=50mm, left=40mm, right=50mm, bottom=60mm, heightrounded since I 
specified that in my markdown file.

So how I can just get the value for right?


Thank you all
Fabian

You can specify geometry in your markdown metadata either as a
string or as a YAML array.

geometry: top=50mm, left=40mm, ...

or

geometry:
- top=50mm
- left=40mm
...

But the members of the array are just strings.  It's not a YAML
object as you seem to expect.

You could create a custom template that would expect a YAML
object like

geometry:
  top: 50mm
  left: 40mm

but the default template wouldn't handle that.

Since I can access geometry with the following statement like it is shown 
in the documentation
$if(geometry)$
\usepackage[$for(geometry)$$geometry$$sep$,$endfor$]{geometry}
$endif$

I expect geometry is an array/structure/field however you want to call it. 
So it should somehow be possible to access a single entry.

Pandoc Docu says: Variable names with periods are used to get at structured 
variable values. So, for example, employee.salary will return the value of 
the salary field of the object that is the value of the employee field.

Yes, it can be an array (though for this you must specify it as
such in your metadata).  But it is just an array of strings, not
an object with key-value pairs.
