Modified Pandoc default.latex template, now with Truetype and Opentype support.

truetype.latex

\def\cmnt#1{}

\cmnt{
 % This is the default.latex file from Pandoc with a single change: I
 % have added the fontspec, xunicode, and xltxtra packages to the
 % fontenc invocation.  This change allows you to use your Truetype and
 % Opentype fonts with pandoc and make your markdown even prettier than
 % ever.  Example usage:
 %
 % pandoc recipe.md --pdf-engine=xelatex --template=truetype.latex -V mainfont="Centaur MT Std" -o recipe.pdf
 %
 % The rights to this file remain with the Pandoc team, and it is
 % consequently licensed under the GPL-v2 License.
 %
 % Truetype compatibility added by Elf M. Sternberg <[email protected]>
