+.TH MARKDOWN2PDF 1 "January 29, 2011" "Pandoc User Manuals"
+.SH NAME
+.PP
+markdown2pdf - converts markdown-formatted text to PDF, using pdflatex
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.PP
+markdown2pdf [\f[I]options\f[]] [\f[I]input-file\f[]]...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\f[C]markdown2pdf\f[] converts \f[I]input-file\f[] (or text from
+standard input) from markdown-formatted plain text to PDF, using
+\f[C]pandoc\f[] and \f[C]pdflatex\f[].
+If no output filename is specified (using the \f[C]-o\f[] option), the
+name of the output file is derived from the input file; thus, for
+example, if the input file is \f[I]hello.txt\f[], the output file will
+be \f[I]hello.pdf\f[].
+If the input is read from STDIN and no output filename is specified, the
+output file will be named \f[I]stdin.pdf\f[].
+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.
+.PP
+Input is assumed to be in the UTF-8 character encoding.
+If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input
+through \f[C]iconv\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+iconv\ -t\ utf-8\ input.txt\ |\ markdown2pdf
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+\f[C]markdown2pdf\f[] assumes that the \f[C]unicode\f[], \f[C]array\f[],
+\f[C]fancyvrb\f[], \f[C]graphicx\f[], and \f[C]ulem\f[] packages are in
+latex\[aq]s search path.
+If these packages are not included in your latex setup, they can be
+obtained from \f[C]http://ctan.org\f[].
