Possible to turn off siunitx macros?

[pbreheny]

I have a longstanding habit of using a user-defined latex macro \as{}. This always used to parse correctly in Pandoc, but now fails, apparently due to a conflict with siunitx. The markdown code:

\as{2+2}

is parsed to the invalid latex code:

\as\{2+2\}

I have no desire to use siunitx, nor had I ever heard of it until trying to diagnose this problem. Is there a way to turn it off and prevent it from taking over my macros?

I am using Pandoc 2.2.3.2.

Thanks for reporting. This seems to be fixed on current master. You could try a nightly, or wait for the next release.

Ah, perfect -- I didn't know you could get nightly builds from pandoc-extras/pandoc-nightly, but that fixes my problem. Thank you so much!

As noted, it's fixed in master. But if your macro definition is in the tex parsed by pandoc, it should be applied. (If you're converting from markdown, try putting the macro definition in your document.) Patrick Breheny <notifications@github.com> writes:

Hmm...that does not seem to work. With the 2.3.2.2 release, the markdown code:

\providecommand{\as}[1]{\begin{align*}#1\end{align*}}

\as{2+2}

is rendered to the latex code

\providecommand{\as}[1]{\begin{align*}#1\end{align*}}

\textbackslash{}as\{2+2\}

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting? Anyway, the nightly build works fine for me, just thought I would provide feedback on your follow-up suggestion.

Probably another bug in 2.3.2.2 that has since been fixed. Current master gives: \providecommand{\as}[1]{\begin{align*}#1\end{align*}} \begin{align*}2+2\end{align*}
