Produced PDF without template style after applying filters

[matthiasbeyer]

When I run my source through pandoc and apply my latex template on it, it has a certain style. When running through pandoc filters, the style is not there anymore.

I'm not sure how I can describe this better.

I tried to set --template for the second call to pandoc (the json -> pdf part) but it results in a latex error (which isn't present without the filters)...

I'm not sure how to proceed here and hope you can help me.

Are you using the --filter option on the command line, or running the filter manually with pipes? I'd suggest using --filter, as it will handle the plumbing for you. If you do it manually, make sure the --template option is used on the part that produces your desired output format. You say this produced an error, but it's difficult to diagnose without more details. Perhaps your filter generates some invalid LaTeX, or LaTeX that requires a packaging you're not importing?

@jgm I will test this, though I'm using a Makefile and bash script setup to do something like for filter in $(ls); do....

I will check whether the --filter option results in what I need.

Using --filter worked. Thanks.
