Order in which default files are applied

Order in which default files are applied

Dear Folks,

I have a question about using multiple default files.

Is there any order in which default files are applied or are they applied 
in the order given in the command line?

What of the default file is not given on the command line?

I would like to know the behavior of which takes effect if we specify the 
same field in two or more default files.

Does Pandoc do any validation in these cases?

Hope someone can shed some light. This is in relation to plugin I am 
writing for a static site generator.

Nanda

If you have multiple --defaults they will be processed
in the order given on the command line.

Defaults specified within another file will
be processed before the other fields in that file.

There is validation, depending on the field.

As for what happens when two defaults specify different
values for the same: it is supposed to behave just as
if you had two command line options.  In some cases,
you'll get an override; in other cases (e.g. with
--css which can be used multiple times on the command
line), a list of values will be formed.

Thank you for your detailed reply.

I think my question has to do with cases where the reader or to field is 
specified in two or more defaults files, in which case I believe one would 
take precedence over the other.

Am I correct in assuming the above?

And which value takes precedence will primarily depend on the order in 
which the defaults files are applied.

I just wish to make sure that the plugin and Pandoc behave the same way 
when dealing with defaults files.
