+# NAME
+
+markdown2pdf - converts markdown-formatted text to PDF, using pdflatex 
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+**markdown2pdf [*options*] [*input-file*]...**
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+`markdown2pdf` converts *input-file* (or text from standard 
+input) from markdown-formatted plain text to PDF, using `pdflatex`.
+If no output filename is specified (using the `-o` option),
+the name of the output file is derived from the input file; thus, for
+example, if the input file is *hello.txt*, the output file will be
+*hello.pdf*.  If the input is read from STDIN and no output filename
+is specified, the output file will be named *stdin.pdf*.  If multiple
+input files are specified, they will be concatenated before conversion,
+and the name of the output file will be derived from the first input file.
+
+Input is assumed to be in the UTF-8 character encoding.  If your
+local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input and
+output through `iconv`:
+
+    iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
+
+`markdown2pdf` assumes that the 'unicode' and 'fancyvrb' packages
+are in latex's search path.  If these packages are not included in your
+latex setup, they can be obtained from <http://ctan.org>.
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+`markdown2pdf` is a wrapper around `pandoc`, so all of
+`pandoc`'s options can be used with `markdown2pdf` as well.
+See `pandoc`(1) for a complete list.
+The following options are most relevant:
+
+-o *FILE*, --output=*FILE*
+:   Write output to *FILE*.
+
+--strict
+:   Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
+
+-N, --number-sections
+:   Number section headings in LaTeX output.  (Default is not to number them.)
+
+-H *FILE*, --include-in-header=*FILE*
+:   Include (LaTeX) contents of *FILE* at the end of the header.  Implies
+    `-s`.
+
+-B *FILE*, --include-before-body=*FILE*
+:   Include (LaTeX) contents of *FILE* at the beginning of the document body.
+
+-A *FILE*, --include-after-body=*FILE*
+:   Include (LaTeX) contents of *FILE* at the end of the document body.
+
+-C *FILE*, --custom-header=*FILE*
+:   Use contents of *FILE*
+    as the LaTeX document header (overriding the default header, which can be
+    printed using `pandoc -D latex`).  Implies `-s`.
