--citeproc issue with LaTeX and Docker

[thomjur]

Hi everyone,

I am using the docker image pandoc/latex:3.1-ubuntu, and I hadn't touched it in a while. Recently, I had to recreate the image and all of a sudden my citeproc citations do not work anymore (I am using --citeproc). I couldn't find any changes in the pandoc release notes, and I am unsure when this has happened. Everything works fine with a previously created image (like a couple of months ago), but the former authors like Munro \& Strohminger (\protect\hyperlink{ref-munrostrohminger2021}{2021}) now looks like this authors like Munro \& Strohminger (\citeproc{ref-munrostrohminger2021}{2021}) in the intermediate TeX format. The references section has also changed. Can someone please help me with what to do? I am a LaTeX noob and most likely I just have to install different LaTeX packages, which are not yet included in the image?

Thank you for your help!

See commit 353177f and #9031.
(pandoc 3.1.7)
Are you using a custom template? If so, you'll need to adjust it to incorporate changes that define the \citeproc macro.

Great, thanks a lot, copying the respective part from the new template into our custom template solved the issue!

Just adding that we maintain a 3.1.1 image, specifically because of the largish number of changes from 3.1.1 to 3.1.13 – the underlying OS shipped in those images changed, too. We usually only maintain one image per major version, but in this case the extra effort seemed warranted.

I recommend to pin the image to a minor version, so something like pandoc/latex:3.1.1, to avoid issues like this.
