pandoc-discuss post: Can the .RS/.RE macros in ms output be replaced with .QS/.QE?
On March 9, 2020 I made a post on the pandoc-discuss mailing list that explains some changes to pandoc to better handle block quotes in ms output, and a workaround for it until the version with changes comes out, but I forgot to mention it here.
In short, use a pipeline like this:
GNUmakefile.change-RS-RE-to-QS-QE (Source)
%.qs.ms.pdf : %.rst pandoc --verbose -r rst -w ms $(PANDOCOPTS) \ --output=- $< | gsed -e 's/^\.RS$$/.QS/' -e 's/^\.RE$$/.QE/' | \ pdfroff -ms -mpdfmark -e -t -k -KUTF-8 -i --no-toc-relocation >$@
