X Beta with Pandoc

 Using pandoc with 

---

header-includes:

    - \usepackage{bm}

---



and --pdf-engine=pdflatex test.md -o test.pdf:


(\beta is italic, but this is another question)


Now using --pdf-engine=xelatex, it gives more problems, I need to de-use package{bm} and the only thing that runs is:

but the \beta is not good bold .


So, I can either \usepackage{bm} with  \bm{\beta} or \boldsymbol{\beta}. The later is more portable because xelatex will compile (although not giving the right bold beta).
