Yes, there should be more, or otherwise do `M-x toggle-debug-on-error` before
running pandoc-mode. That should pop up a backtrace buffer, the contents of that
buffer should provide more insight.

Actually, that's the mailing list for Pandoc itself, not for pandoc-mode, which
doesn't have a mailing list. If you have a Github account, it's best to open an
issue here: <https://github.com/joostkremers/pandoc-mode/issues>. Otherwise, you
might as well contact me directly. (I'm the pandoc-mode maintainer;
unfortunately, work is taking up a lot of my time, so I haven't been able to
dedicate as much time to pandoc-mode as I should...)

It doesn't for me, either.
