pandoc
`pandoc/core` not working as documented
Either the documentation is outdated or the image is missing a dependency:
docker run --rm \
> --volume "$(pwd):/data" \
> --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
> pandoc/core protokoll.md -o outfile.pdf
pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex
pandoc/core does not contain pdflatex. You have to use pandoc/latex instead.
If that is the case, then the default --pdf-engine should not be pdflatex. @cmahnke is referring to what is documented by pandoc on DockerHub.
I don't see anywhere in documentation that suggests using the core image to generate PDF files. If it is miss-documented somewhere can somebody please point out the exact reference? The core image has no backends for generating PDFs, only things that Pandoc can generate natively are supported.
@alerque https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles/blob/61b1fbf7355923f817b447301543d40316eea9c2/docs/sections/run.md?plain=1#L11
@cmahnke That reference is already explicitly shown as using the pandoc/latex image, not the pandoc/core image. I'm still happy to fix anywhere it is actually miss-documented, but that example is correct already.
I might have been wrong, the problem still exists: https://hub.docker.com/r/pandoc/core
Section "Run the pandoc Docker container"
Maybe someone have to renew the Text on Dockerhub, it should be automated anyways
@tarleb The README copy on Docker Hub does in fact appear to be over a year behind what is in this repository. The include system also seems like it will produce sub-optimal results in that it will have the PDF example using the latex image in the docs for all the images including core. I don't have access to the Docker Hub org where these are stored so I can't fix that end of things. Can you either regen the docs there or give my alerque user access to the Docker end of things?
Thank you for raising this issue. I've fixed it in the doc template, and which means that it will be fixed on Docker Hub the next time I go through the release process.
