Pandoc 3 breaks Pandoc Resume

I've been using Mark Szepieniec's Markdown Resume but recently noticed a degradation in the styling.

The tool relies on pandoc and context

pandoc --version and context --version reveal:

pandoc 3.0.1
mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 1.04

Pandoc was just updated to major release 3 in Debian Trixie (testing) and could be causing the issue.

This issue in the pandoc_resume github repo also suggests updated pandoc is the cause.

Use sudo apt-cache policy pandoc to see if a previous version is still available.

None were so I added (uncommented) the stable release in my /etc/apt/sources.list file.

Then sudo apt update, check the policy again and I can see pandoc 2.17.1.1-2~deb12u1 is available.

Remove pandoc 3 as well as the pandoc-data depencancy:

sudo apt remove pandoc
sudo apt autoremove

Finally install pandoc 2:

sudo apt install pandoc=2.17.1.1-2~deb12u1 pandoc-data=2.17.1.1-2~deb12u1

Hold the pandoc 2 package:

sudo apt-mark hold pandoc

Alternatively, use the included docker-compose.yml file to build your resume with a docker container that contains a pandoc 2

docker-compose up -d
