I\'m trying to convert a Markdown file into a PDF. I\'m looking for only two things:
To a certain extent, I'd suggest just learning the basic latex formatting you need - it removes a layer of interpretation by the renderer.
However, pandoc does support html input, so in theory, you could export markdown->html(with custom css), then call pandoc again to convert to html. I don't know if (or how much) of the formatting would be saved - css can be really complicated to parse.
