Question: support of YAML config as pandoc command line arguments?

[cavo789]

Good morning.

I've made a lot of .md documentations for my company and I wish to be able to specify the logo not in my document but as command line arguments.

So, in my .md, I've this:

logo: "logo.pdf"
logo-width: "200"

But I need to put these two lines in all my markdown files...

Is it possible to specify YAML arguments as pandoc arguments like in:

pandoc example.md -o example.pdf --from markdown --template eisvogel --listings --logo logo.pdf

Many thanks!!!

Found after posting here... jgm/pandoc#1960 (comment)

There is an --metadata-file arguments for this:

pandoc example.md -o example.pdf --from markdown --template eisvogel --metadata-file=defaults.yaml

Many thanks

You can also set the variable directly on the command line with the -V option:

pandoc example.md -o example.pdf --from markdown --template eisvogel --listings -V logo="logo.pdf"
