This question already has an answer here: Slides with Columns in Pandoc 6 answers I want to convert a markdown file to html and pdf using pandoc. For the pdf file, which is intended for printing, I'd like to render a block of (narrow) text in two column format.

I'm trying out Pandoc on OS X, and results thus far are impressive. One blocking problem, however, is getting CSS styles to work on inline code samples. I'm converting from Markdown to PDF.

From this tex.SE answer : save the following as header.tex (replacing image.jpg by the path to your background image): \usepackage{background} \backgroundsetup{ scale=1, color=black, opacity=0.4, angle=0, pages=all, contents={% \includegraphics[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{image.jpg} }% } And add to your yaml: --- output: pdf_document: includes: in_header: header.tex --- See the
