In general it really makes me wonder why there isn't a single openSUSE distribution that has a recent Pandoc version at all, not even Tumbleweed, according to https://software.opensuse.org/package/pandoc – Pandoc 3.0, for example, was released in January 2023, and the newest release is 3.1.3 (from June 2023). In other words, it seems there are more problems than just backward compatibility. Static binaries for everything can't be the solution, can it?
What is this (on Tumbleweed 20230601)?: === zypper if ghc-pandoc Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

It includes a powerful system for automatic citations and bibliographies, and it can be customized extensively using templates, filters, and custom readers and writers written in Lua. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I installed pandoc-cli (0.1.1-2.2), and it currently requires ghc-pandoc >= 3.0 . -- Robert Webb
