[LaTeX] "%" in the \verb comand are interpreted as comments.

problem
This problem occurs when converting LaTeX.
If I convert the following text, the "%" in the \verb command are interpreted as a comment.

\hbox{\verb|\begin{minipage}[t]%|}

How to execute
pandoc --from=latex --to=json "sample.tex"

Have you tried in the latest pandoc version? e.g. https://pandoc.org/try/?text=%5Chbox%7B%5Cverb%7C%5Cbegin%7Bminipage%7D%5Bt%5D%25%7C%7D&from=latex&to=native&standalone=0

This appears to work correctly in recent versions; you just need to upgrade.

I updated to version 12.17.1.1, but it did not solve the problem.
I will share the file that I actually used for the conversion.

I tried to convert, but got the following error.

pandoc --from=latex --to=json "jsample.tex" 
Error at "jsample.tex" (line 8, column 2):
unexpected end of input

OK, what's going on in your document is that it first defines | as \verb|:

\def\|{\verb|}

so that the % in the following line is not a comment but a verbatim %:

\hbox{\|\begin{minipage}[t]%|}

Pandoc understands that when you write

\hbox{\verb|\begin{minipage}[t]%|}

but not with the defined \|, apparently.

[jgm]

Actually it's more complex than that. The defined \| normally works fine, but there's some kind of interaction with the \vbox.

\def\|{\verb|}
\vbox{
\hbox{\|\begin{minipage}[t]%|}
}

yields the error, but

\def\|{\verb|}
\hbox{\|\begin{minipage}[t]%|}

works perfectly.

[jgm]

Pushed a change that fixes this.

[sumi35]

Thank you for the fixes.
I'm sorry, but could you please let me know the next release date?

[jgm]

I don't know when the next release will come out. You can grab a nightly, though.
