I'm having trouble understanding why the attached file fails with: structure : subject @ level 3 : 0.0.0 -> Information ! Undefined control sequence. \dododescriptioncomponent ...entdescriptioncoding \s!tex \fi \ifx \currentde... \@@notemakedescription ...list =,\c!bookmark =,][] \xdef \currentnotenumber {... l.79 ...r in light of Pasquinelli's presentation.} If I replace \footnote{} with parantheses, the included source compiles fine. I've had a separate issue where a URL containing %'s seems to gum up the system (that is, when I pared down the source to isolate the above peculiarity I removed the URLs with %s and the other error, which would stop compilation itself if the parantheses had solved the above issue, disappeared.) Is pandoc producing the proper, or preferred, \useURL syntax? I'm assuming pandoc aims for mkII over mkIV, but I thought I read that the interface had not changed. Sincerely, John Haltiwanger
