generate default templates for pandoc

genTemplates.bat

@echo off
goto main

My installation of pandoc didn't have the advertised templates or the 
advertised directory they were meant to be in, which is a nuisance if 
you need to modify them. This batch file should do the job.

:main
pandoc -v | grep "fault user" | sed  "s/^[^:]*: *\(.*\)/\1/" > genT_tmpfile
set /p PANDOC_USER_DIR=<genT_tmpfile
del genT_tmpfile
pushd %PANDOC_USER_DIR%
if NOT %errorlevel%==0 echo cannot access pandoc user data directory & goto :eof
if not exist templates md templates
for /f %%t in ('pandoc --list-output-formats') do pandoc --print-default-template=%%t > templates\default.%%t
popd
