Pandoc-mode ignoring settings file?

I'm trying to set pandoc-mode on Emacs to use xelatex as the default LaTeX engine. From my understanding of the documentation, I should be able to do this by:

This creates a native.pandoc file in the pandoc-data-dir as expected and if I open up the file, then I do see (latex-engine . "xelatex") in the file.

My problem is that when I try to convert any Markdown file to a PDF with C-c / p, the standard pdfLaTeX engine is used. In fact, even within the same session, the latex-engine option seems to be ignored.

Any idea what's going on here? (PS xelatex is installed on my system and available from the command line.)

I should have thought of this.

The problem was that C-c / p first converts the file to LaTeX and then to PDF, and so the settings file needs to be called latex.pandoc in order to work. I also changed the output format in the file from native to (write . "latex").
