Pandoc greek letters not rendering

Question

I am trying to convert a .md to HTML with pandoc.

The markdown contains a $\Iota$ and pandoc is not converting it:

[WARNING] Could not convert TeX math \Iota, rendering as TeX:
  \Iota
       ^
  unexpected control sequence \Iota
  expecting "%", "\\label", "\\tag", "\\nonumber" or whitespace

The pandoc command:

 pandoc .\Input.md -f  markdown -o Output.html --template='templates pandoc\elegant_bootstrap_menu.html'   --toc --standalone

How can I fix this? Thanks :)

Answer 1

I believe that \Iota is not defined by default. Add

\def\Iota{I}

to the document somewhere before the first equation that uses \Iota. This will cause pandoc to replace all instances of \Iota in equations with I.

You might also want to use a non-default option for math rendering. See the section Math rendering in HTML in the manual.
