Where in the world is my pandoc directory?
I am trying to add a custom latex template for pandoc I know that pandoc templates go in ~/.pandoc/templates and I confirmed the pandoc directory location by typing pandoc --v - it says pandoc is in ~/.pandoc but when I do cd ~/.pandoc : -bash: cd: /Users/[Name]/.pandoc: No such file or directory According the pandoc man page I can set a different path for pandoc data files using --data-dir=DIRECTORY , but when I try build a file this way, e.g. pandoc file.md -o file.pdf --data-dir=~/Library/texmf/tex/latex --template=mytemplate.latex it throws the error pandoc: Could not find data file
