Subject: Re: Full path to reference doc does not work in Cygwin

Cygwin is tough.  Certain things about pandoc's
file path handling depend on the platform pandoc
is compiled on.  So a pandoc compiled on windows
may have expectations that are not met in Cygwin.

See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5451
which may be somehow related.

You can put up an issue on this if you like.

About the other issue:

> Full paths works in CMD.exe and in Linux (Ubuntu with pandoc 2.7.2).
> For me it is of a smaller issue, but
> pandoc -s --reference-doc=~/Documents/script/reference.odt -o test.odt
> input.md                      # Does not work with ~ (tilde)
> will also not work.

This is because ~ is interpreted by the shell, normally, but
in this context it is just passed on literally to pandoc.
If you try with a space in place of = it should work.
