My yaml
-file has these variables:
values:
- name: MyName
amount: 123
---
In the pandoc-template for LaTeX I have inserted the variables as following:
$for(values)$
$if(values.name)$Name: $values.name$$endif$
$if(values.amount)$Amnount: $values.amount$$endif$
$endfor$
As long as I do a plain conversion with pandoc it works well.
But when I try to pass a value to the variable values.amount
via the command line (from a makefile) it is not recognized however the subshell works fine.
pandoc --variable values.amount="$(shell awk 'NR>1{print $0}' myfile.csv | wc -l)" dummy.md -o final.pdf
How do I pass a value to the variable
amount
via CLI?
