\providecommand statements in latex inputs are not translated correctly by pandoc. When a latex file contains multiple, identical assignments with\providecommand only the first one is interpreted. Pandoc seems to interpret all of them.

Given this document

\documentclass{article}\providecommand{\test}{foo}\providecommand{\test}{bar}\begin{document}The value is:\test\end{document}

latex produces a document stating:The value is: foo

However, given the same document to pandoc results in:The value is: bar

My pandoc version is 2.7.2
