Package: pandoc
Version: 2.9.2.1-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The --defaults option does not appear to look in $HOME/.local/share/pandoc/
it also does not appear to look into $XDG_DATA_HOME/pandoc/ to look
for the file mentioned in this option.
$ export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.local/share
$ pandoc -d options report.md
pandoc: options.yaml: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or
directory)
(This is in spite of the fact that $HOME/.local/share/pandoc/options.yaml
exists.)
The man page mentions these two locations.
Regards,
Kapil.

Oops! Thanks!
As you pointed out, I misread the manual page.
Once the file was moved to $HOME/.local/share/pandoc/defaults/options.yaml
it was found and it worked!
Marking this bug as done.
Regards,
Kapil.
