Images missing while convert md to pdf

[wieniawski-lai]

hi,

I am converting markdown to pdf, and the md file has images, which I put the png files with md file in the same folder.
The md file is writing like this

![[FilterDesign_image_1.png]]

And I am using the following command to convert to pdf:

pandoc input.md -f markdown -t pdf -o output.pdf --template=./template.tex

However, in output pdf, the png images are missing, only links are left:

How can I insert images to converted pdf instead of the links.

thx

That isn't correct Markdown syntax for an image. Instead use:

![](FilterDesign_image_1.png)

thx.

I have changed the syntax like you said.

And to support unicode and graph

• I use pandoc -D latex > template.tex to generate a template
• add \usepackage{ctex} and \graphicspath{{./}} before \begin{document} in template

Then I use this command to convert

pandoc temp.md -f markdown -t pdf -o temp.pdf --template=template.tex

However, it is stilled failed, with error

Error producing PDF.
! Undefined control sequence.
l.81 \pandocbounded

Then I add --verbose while converting, more report I get

However, I have no idea about the report.

Any suggestions?

\pandocbounded is a special macro defined in the common.latex partial used by the default template.
In the default template you'll see:

$common.latex()$

which includes this. If you didn't remove this, you should still see a definition of \pandocbounded in your latex output with -s. Perhaps you removed it?

Additional note: In the common partial we have:

$if(graphics)$
\usepackage{graphicx}
\makeatletter
\newsavebox\pandoc@box
\newcommand*\pandocbounded[1]{% scales image to fit in text height/width
  \sbox\pandoc@box{#1}%
  \Gscale@div\@tempa{\textheight}{\dimexpr\ht\pandoc@box+\dp\pandoc@box\relax}%
  \Gscale@div\@tempb{\linewidth}{\wd\pandoc@box}%
  \ifdim\@tempb\p@<\@tempa\p@\let\@tempa\@tempb\fi% select the smaller of both
  \ifdim\@tempa\p@<\p@\scalebox{\@tempa}{\usebox\pandoc@box}%
  \else\usebox{\pandoc@box}%
  \fi%
}
% Set default figure placement to htbp
\def\fps@figure{htbp}
\makeatother
$endif$

The variable graphics is set when your document contains images.
If your document doesn't contain images, this material won't appear.
