Unable to use eisvogel template

[3isenHeiM]

Hi I'm using pandoc/extra image.

I cannot have GitHub action take the eisvogel template into action.
I've located the folder where the eisvogel.latex template is from the DockerFile.

Here is my config trying to call it:

# .github/workflows/build-docs.yml
name: Build Docs PDF
on:
  push:
    paths:
      - "docs/**/*.md"
      - ".github/workflows/build-docs.yml"
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build-docs:
    name: Build Docs
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: docker://pandoc/extra:3.7
        with:
          args: |
            --from=markdown \
            --template=eisvogel.latex \
            -o output/doc.pdf input.md

Since the eisvogel.latex file is in /usr/local/share/pandoc/template/Eisvogel-3.2.0/eisvogel.latex, I've tried setting the full path, but it does not work either.

Any hints ?

@3isenHeiM Facing a similar problem, I identified one approach. It was filed as PR pending review by the maintainers of the repository (issue #42). Meanwhile, you may check if this workflow

name: Usage Pandoc-Extra

on: push

jobs:
  convert_via_pandoc:
    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: create output folder
        run: |
          mkdir output
      - uses: docker://pandoc/extra:3.8
        with:
          args: >-  # break string of arguments into multiple lines
            README.md --output=output/README.pdf
            --standalone
            --template /.pandoc/templates/eisvogel.latex
            --listings
            -V block-headings
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: output
          path: output

can provide you help.
