One note on this: the templates are not the only data files pandoc uses. There are also reference.docx, reference.odt, default.csl, and files for slides and LaTeXMathML. See the data-files stanza of pandoc.cabal for a complete list. In the development version of pandoc, I've simplified things a bit by putting all data files in the data/ subdirectory. That is how it will be in the next release. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
