header-includes metadata for LaTeX

header-includes metadata for LaTeX

Hi!

I am trying to use

header-includes: \usepackage[inline]{showlabels}

in the yaml header of my markdown document for output
in PDF via LaTeX. Fiddled with other formats as well, e.g.

header-includes: 
    ```{=latex}
    \usepackage[inline]{showlabels}
    ```
All to no effect (by simply ignoring it; no errors).

For easy handling, I want to make changes directly in the
yaml header (loading LaTeX preambles works flawlessly).

Any suggestions?
Many thanks, Mike

This works fine for me:

```
% cat test.md
---
header-includes: \usepackage[inline]{showlabels}
...
% pandoc -t latex -s test.md
.
. omitted content
.
% set default figure placement to htbp
\makeatletter
\def\fps@figure{htbp}
\makeatother

\usepackage[inline]{showlabels}

\date{}

\begin{document}

\end{document}
```

Do you get different output?  What pandoc version?
Are you by chance using a custom latex template?
(Also check ~/.pandoc/templates).

Hi John,

Many thanks for your reply and testing.

I am using pandoc 2.2.3.2 on arch linux with the standard LaTeX
template.

My suspicion is that my preample.tex somehow interfers with the
yaml header. I am also using other yaml settings which might
override the showlabels include. At least I know that your default
version works well... Will do some debugging by stripping down
the document to the default version and observe changes...

Best,
      Mike
