[Tex/LaTex] pandoc –listings breaks styling of code block

listingspandocpdftex

Considering this input file:

~~~{.html caption="test caption"}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Store</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="app"></div>
  </body>
</html>
~~~

When I run command:

pandoc ./DOC.md -o ./doc.pdf

Listing has nice stylings:

I want to have also listing captions. So a
lot
of
people suggest to use --listings package.

But after I run 

pandoc ./DOC.md -o ./doc.pdf --listings

The output file is missing styles for code block!

How to configure pandoc to have nice styles of code block and caption at the same time?

One way of adding captions to code blocks is by using pandoc-crossref:

~~~{#lst:captionAttr .html caption="test caption"}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Store</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="app"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Invoke pandoc with pandoc-crossref as a filter:

$  pandoc --filter pandoc-crossref doc.md -o doc.pdf

Another way would be to use an existing color scheme for listings. There is an implementation of the solarized theme from which you could start:

  1. Get the package from github: https://github.com/jez/latex-solarized

  2. Tell pandoc to include the package in the LaTeX preamble by adding a YAML block:

---
header-includes: \usepackage{solarized-light}
---

resulting in

---
header-includes: \usepackage{solarized-light}
---

~~~{.html caption="test caption"}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Store</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="app"></div>
  </body>
</html>

  1. Run pandoc:
$ pandoc --listings doc.md -o doc.pdf
