Undefined control sequence. \hl

With the -d pdf flag I get

Undefined control sequence.  
   \hl

Actually added a \newcommand{\hl}[1]{\colorbox{yellow}{#1}} somewhere in the text. But the error persists. It is however possible to use the \hl and colour text by hand.

I think it requires the soul package. Have you tried adding \usepackage{soul}?

Try using this: fontfamily: lmodern,color,soul. Both color and soul are needed for the commands. Hacking pandoc's fontfamily key to use packages. And of course add a font here too.
