    -p "$JPORT":"$JPORT" \                                                             
    --env JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes \                                                     
    --env NB_USER="$USER" \                                                            
    --env NB_GID=1000 \                                                                
    --volume "$HOME":"$HOME" \                                                         
    --volume $(pwd):$(pwd) \                                                           
    --user root \                                                                      
    --workdir $(pwd) \                                                                 
    quay.io/jupyter/datascience-notebook \
    start.sh jupyter lab \                                                             
    --port "$JPORT" \                                                                  
    --notebook-dir $(pwd)

How to Reproduce the problem?

With a .md or .ipynb notebook that includes images open, select "File -> Save and Export Notebook As" and then the "PDF" option.

Command output

! Undefined control sequence.
l.450 \pandocbounded
{\includesvg[keepaspectratio]{KeychainLabels.svg}}

Expected behavior

A PDF file is produced.

Actual behavior

The JupyterLab server errors out.

Anything else?

See Pandoc 3.2.1 introduced new LaTex macro \pandocbounded · Issue #391 · Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template. It looks like the solution to this issue is to update to v2.5.0 of this package. It's possible that nbconvert needs an update first, see Incompatibility issue with latest version of pandoc · Issue #2173 · jupyter/nbconvert (which looks unresolved).

Latest Docker version

• I've updated my Docker version to the latest available, and the issue persists

Hi @davidvandebunte,

Could you make your example reproducible on any machine?
Remove docker command flags which are not needed, write a command which would work on any machine with docker installed, add a file example.
In general, it's a great idea to simplify an issue as much as possible and create an MRE

Hey @mathbunnyru,

You'll likely find the issue is reproducible already with whatever docker image you are using (it doesn't have to be the datascience-notebook) and whatever docker run command you're already using. Then create a notebook with an image in it; here's a Markdown cell:

Hello there! Here's an image:

Let me know if that doesn't work, though. I'll edit my docker run command above to make it shorter though, it's the longest part of the report.
