Bug#977339: pandoc: `data-dir` or `XDG_DATA_HOME` don't appear to work for --defaults
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.

The man page says: > The file will be searched for first in the working directory, and then in > the `defaults` subdirectory of the user data directory It looks as if you've put your options.yaml directly in the user data directory rather than in the defaults subdirectory of that directory: try `$HOME/.local/share/pandoc/defaults/options.yaml`.

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.
