MD -> LaTeX/PDF Issue on ordered lists

[suzizecat]

Hello.

In pandoc 2.4 and 2.3.1 (tried as fallback), in a markdown to LaTeX conversion, ordered enumeration produces invalid TeX code.

The following code

Lorem Ipsum

1. This
2. Is
3. A Test

Produces the following

%some stuff
Lorem Ipsum blabla

\begin{enumerate}[<+->]
\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
\tightlist
\item
  This
\item
  Is
\item
  A Test
\end{enumerate}
%some other stuff

Which don't compile under my up-to-date MiKTeX distribution. The issue seems to come from the [<+->] code which I don't understand at all (maybe some beamer stuff ?).

I'm using the following line : pandoc.exe -f markdown --standalone -V geometry:margin=2cm --toc -i input.txt -o Test.tex. The produced file will fail with several errors likes

! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.129   T
         est

Removing the [<+->] part makes it work perfectly fine.

Best regards,

-i doesn't mean what you think it means. Look it up in the manual!

Once writerIncremental is turned on, it affects the way latex lists are rendered. I think a slight change is needed: we should ignore writerIncremental unless the output format is beamer. But in your case, you can fix things just by removing -i.

OK That was it.
Is it a recent feature (later than February 2018) ? Because I saved this command line at work few month ago and used it extensively. without issue...

[jgm]

No, -i has worked this way for years...
