Include pdfcol package in pandoc/extra

[cagix]

Please add the pdfcol (https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfcol) package to pandoc/extra.

Pandoc/extra contains support for the Eisvogel template and for coloured and framed text boxes (tcolorbox package). To allow breakable boxes to be realised with tcolorbox, the pdfcol package is required (cf. https://ftp.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox/tcolorbox.pdf, page 401 ff).

Can you please add this to pandoc/extra?

I appreciate your efforts!

Hi @cagix

Seems like a reasonable request :)

can you provide a minimal example to run some tests ?

[cagix]

Sure:

MWE

# Boxes with tcolorbox

For the sake of simplicity, the boxes are defined directly in LaTeX.

Normally you would use the procedure shown in
https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template/blob/master/examples/boxes-with-pandoc-latex-environment-and-tcolorbox/document.md
with Pandoc divs and a filter.

## A short box

\begin{tcolorbox}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam aliquet
libero quis lectus elementum fermentum.
\end{tcolorbox}

## A quite long box

This box should be "breakable" using the `breakable` library via `\tcbuselibrary{breakable}`. This requires the `pdfcol` package.

\begin{tcolorbox}[breakable]
