I didn't realize! Thank you!

Hi @girish , just tagging you in case you haven't seen the above request to switch to texlive-latex-recommended

Amazing! Thank you for the quick response. I've tested and we can get a pdf to render in our workflow, however, there are very few packages includes in texlive-latex-base, would it be possible to use texlive-latex-recommended instead?

In the pandoc documentation in apt info pandoc it recommends using the texlive-latex-recommended.
Here is a bit of a breakdown of the difference: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/245982/differences-between-texlive-packages-in-linux

Right now some basic ability to style and set font size is missing.

Hello,

I am trying to use pandoc via an n8n execute command node to generate a pdf with $variables$ from a latex template.

However we get this error pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex.
I've tested with other engines: xelatex, lualatex, tectonic, latexmk and they don't work either. Am I missing something obvious about another way to go from latex -> pdf ?

If not, could we get a latex engine (preferrably pdflatex) installed / added to the Dockerfile?
It would greatly enhance the abilities to use pandoc

I've also reviewed the prior forum posts to make sure I'm not missing anything:

• https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6847/pandoc?loggedin=true
• https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/12736/adding-apt-dependencies-to-n8n-app-or-any-other-app/3
• and reviewed how pandoc is installed via dockerfile: https://git.cloudron.io/packages/n8n-app/-/blame/master/Dockerfile#L18

Agree that it would be great to have this app in Cloudron
