Re: errors converting docx files

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

You're converting to PDF, I gather. Do any conversions to other
formats cause problems? If it is just PDF, the problem is likely
due to the step where pandoc runs pdflatex on an intermediate
tex file.  That is also suggested by the error message
itself.  But I'm mystified as to what the problem is, exactly.
ANd I don't have an M1 mac to test on.  Can anyone else reproduce
this?
