+.SH NAME
+pandoc - general markup converter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.PP
+\f[C]pandoc\f[] [\f[I]options\f[]] [\f[I]input\-file\f[]]...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to
+another, and a command\-line tool that uses this library.
+It can read Markdown, CommonMark, and (subsets of) Textile,
+reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, MediaWiki markup, TWiki markup, Haddock
+markup, OPML, Emacs Org\-mode, DocBook, txt2tags, EPUB and Word docx;
+and it can write plain text, Markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML, HTML 5,
+LaTeX (including beamer slide shows), ConTeXt, RTF, OPML, DocBook,
+OpenDocument, ODT, Word docx, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, DokuWiki
+markup, Haddock markup, EPUB (v2 or v3), FictionBook2, Textile, groff
+man pages, Emacs Org\-Mode, AsciiDoc, InDesign ICML, and Slidy,
+Slideous, DZSlides, reveal.js or S5 HTML slide shows.
+It can also produce PDF output on systems where LaTeX is installed.
+.PP
+Pandoc\[aq]s enhanced version of markdown includes syntax for footnotes,
+tables, flexible ordered lists, definition lists, fenced code blocks,
+superscript, subscript, strikeout, title blocks, automatic tables of
+contents, embedded LaTeX math, citations, and markdown inside HTML block
+elements.
+(These enhancements, described below under PANDOC\[aq]S MARKDOWN, can be
+disabled using the \f[C]markdown_strict\f[] input or output format.)
+.PP
+In contrast to most existing tools for converting markdown to HTML,
+which use regex substitutions, Pandoc has a modular design: it consists
+of a set of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a
+native representation of the document, and a set of writers, which
+convert this native representation into a target format.
+Thus, adding an input or output format requires only adding a reader or
+writer.
+.SS Using \f[C]pandoc\f[]
+.PP
+If no \f[I]input\-file\f[] is specified, input is read from
+\f[I]stdin\f[].
+Otherwise, the \f[I]input\-files\f[] are concatenated (with a blank line
+between each) and used as input.
+Output goes to \f[I]stdout\f[] by default (though output to
+\f[I]stdout\f[] is disabled for the \f[C]odt\f[], \f[C]docx\f[],
+\f[C]epub\f[], and \f[C]epub3\f[] output formats).
+For output to a file, use the \f[C]\-o\f[] option:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-o\ output.html\ input.txt
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+By default, pandoc produces a document fragment, not a standalone
+document with a proper header and footer.
+To produce a standalone document, use the \f[C]\-s\f[] or
+\f[C]\-\-standalone\f[] flag:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-s\ \-o\ output.html\ input.txt
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+For more information on how standalone documents are produced, see
+TEMPLATES, below.
+.PP
+Instead of a file, an absolute URI may be given.
+In this case pandoc will fetch the content using HTTP:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-f\ html\ \-t\ markdown\ http://www.fsf.org
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If multiple input files are given, \f[C]pandoc\f[] will concatenate them
+all (with blank lines between them) before parsing.
+This feature is disabled for binary input formats such as \f[C]EPUB\f[]
+and \f[C]docx\f[].
+.PP
+The format of the input and output can be specified explicitly using
+command\-line options.
+The input format can be specified using the \f[C]\-r/\-\-read\f[] or
+\f[C]\-f/\-\-from\f[] options, the output format using the
+\f[C]\-w/\-\-write\f[] or \f[C]\-t/\-\-to\f[] options.
+Thus, to convert \f[C]hello.txt\f[] from markdown to LaTeX, you could
+type:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-f\ markdown\ \-t\ latex\ hello.txt
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+To convert \f[C]hello.html\f[] from html to markdown:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-f\ html\ \-t\ markdown\ hello.html
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Supported output formats are listed below under the \f[C]\-t/\-\-to\f[]
+option.
+Supported input formats are listed below under the \f[C]\-f/\-\-from\f[]
+option.
+Note that the \f[C]rst\f[], \f[C]textile\f[], \f[C]latex\f[], and
+\f[C]html\f[] readers are not complete; there are some constructs that
+they do not parse.
+.PP
+If the input or output format is not specified explicitly,
+\f[C]pandoc\f[] will attempt to guess it from the extensions of the
+input and output filenames.
+Thus, for example,
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-o\ hello.tex\ hello.txt
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+will convert \f[C]hello.txt\f[] from markdown to LaTeX.
+If no output file is specified (so that output goes to \f[I]stdout\f[]),
+or if the output file\[aq]s extension is unknown, the output format will
+default to HTML.
+If no input file is specified (so that input comes from \f[I]stdin\f[]),
+or if the input files\[aq] extensions are unknown, the input format will
+be assumed to be markdown unless explicitly specified.
+.PP
+Pandoc uses the UTF\-8 character encoding for both input and output.
+If your local character encoding is not UTF\-8, you should pipe input
+and output through \f[C]iconv\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+iconv\ \-t\ utf\-8\ input.txt\ |\ pandoc\ |\ iconv\ \-f\ utf\-8
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that in some output formats (such as HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, RTF,
+OPML, DocBook, and Texinfo), information about the character encoding is
+included in the document header, which will only be included if you use
+the \f[C]\-s/\-\-standalone\f[] option.
+.SS Creating a PDF
+.PP
+Earlier versions of pandoc came with a program, \f[C]markdown2pdf\f[],
+that used pandoc and pdflatex to produce a PDF.
+This is no longer needed, since \f[C]pandoc\f[] can now produce
+\f[C]pdf\f[] output itself.
+To produce a PDF, simply specify an output file with a \f[C]\&.pdf\f[]
+extension.
+Pandoc will create a latex file and use pdflatex (or another engine, see
+\f[C]\-\-latex\-engine\f[]) to convert it to PDF:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ test.txt\ \-o\ test.pdf
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Production of a PDF requires that a LaTeX engine be installed (see
+\f[C]\-\-latex\-engine\f[], below), and assumes that the following LaTeX
+packages are available: \f[C]amssymb\f[], \f[C]amsmath\f[],
+\f[C]ifxetex\f[], \f[C]ifluatex\f[], \f[C]listings\f[] (if the
+\f[C]\-\-listings\f[] option is used), \f[C]fancyvrb\f[],
+\f[C]longtable\f[], \f[C]booktabs\f[], \f[C]url\f[], \f[C]graphicx\f[]
+and \f[C]grffile\f[] (if the document contains images),
+\f[C]hyperref\f[], \f[C]ulem\f[], \f[C]babel\f[] (if the \f[C]lang\f[]
+variable is set), \f[C]fontspec\f[] (if \f[C]xelatex\f[] or
+\f[C]lualatex\f[] is used as the LaTeX engine), \f[C]xltxtra\f[] and
+\f[C]xunicode\f[] (if \f[C]xelatex\f[] is used).
+.SS \f[C]hsmarkdown\f[]
+.PP
+A user who wants a drop\-in replacement for \f[C]Markdown.pl\f[] may
+create a symbolic link to the \f[C]pandoc\f[] executable called
+\f[C]hsmarkdown\f[].
+When invoked under the name \f[C]hsmarkdown\f[], \f[C]pandoc\f[] will
+behave as if invoked with
+\f[C]\-f\ markdown_strict\ \-\-email\-obfuscation=references\f[], and
+all command\-line options will be treated as regular arguments.
+However, this approach does not work under Cygwin, due to problems with
+its simulation of symbolic links.

+Variables may be set at the command line using the
+\f[C]\-V/\-\-variable\f[] option.
+Variables set in this way override metadata fields with the same name.
+.PP
+Templates may contain conditionals.
+The syntax is as follows:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+$if(variable)$
+X
+$else$
+Y
+$endif$
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+This will include \f[C]X\f[] in the template if \f[C]variable\f[] has a
+non\-null value; otherwise it will include \f[C]Y\f[].
+\f[C]X\f[] and \f[C]Y\f[] are placeholders for any valid template text,
+and may include interpolated variables or other conditionals.
+The \f[C]$else$\f[] section may be omitted.
+.PP
+When variables can have multiple values (for example, \f[C]author\f[] in
+a multi\-author document), you can use the \f[C]$for$\f[] keyword:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+$for(author)$
+<meta\ name="author"\ content="$author$"\ />
+$endfor$
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+You can optionally specify a separator to be used between consecutive
+items:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+$for(author)$$author$$sep$,\ $endfor$
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+A dot can be used to select a field of a variable that takes an object
+as its value.
+So, for example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+$author.name$\ ($author.affiliation$)
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If you use custom templates, you may need to revise them as pandoc
+changes.
+We recommend tracking the changes in the default templates, and
+modifying your custom templates accordingly.
+An easy way to do this is to fork the pandoc\-templates repository
+(http://github.com/jgm/pandoc\-templates) and merge in changes after
+each pandoc release.
+.SH PANDOC\[aq]S MARKDOWN
+.PP
+Pandoc understands an extended and slightly revised version of John
+Gruber\[aq]s markdown syntax.
+This document explains the syntax, noting differences from standard
+markdown.
+Except where noted, these differences can be suppressed by using the
+\f[C]markdown_strict\f[] format instead of \f[C]markdown\f[].
+An extensions can be enabled by adding \f[C]+EXTENSION\f[] to the format
+name and disabled by adding \f[C]\-EXTENSION\f[].
+For example, \f[C]markdown_strict+footnotes\f[] is strict markdown with
+footnotes enabled, while \f[C]markdown\-footnotes\-pipe_tables\f[] is
+pandoc\[aq]s markdown without footnotes or pipe tables.
+.SS Philosophy
+.PP
+Markdown is designed to be easy to write, and, even more importantly,
+easy to read:
+.RS
+.PP
+A Markdown\-formatted document should be publishable as\-is, as plain
+text, without looking like it\[aq]s been marked up with tags or
+formatting instructions.
+\-\- John Gruber
+.RE
+.PP
+This principle has guided pandoc\[aq]s decisions in finding syntax for
+tables, footnotes, and other extensions.
+.PP
+There is, however, one respect in which pandoc\[aq]s aims are different
+from the original aims of markdown.
+Whereas markdown was originally designed with HTML generation in mind,
+pandoc is designed for multiple output formats.
+Thus, while pandoc allows the embedding of raw HTML, it discourages it,
+and provides other, non\-HTMLish ways of representing important document
+elements like definition lists, tables, mathematics, and footnotes.
+.SS Paragraphs
+.PP
+A paragraph is one or more lines of text followed by one or more blank
+lines.
+Newlines are treated as spaces, so you can reflow your paragraphs as you
+like.
+If you need a hard line break, put two or more spaces at the end of a
+line.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]escaped_line_breaks\f[]
+.PP
+A backslash followed by a newline is also a hard line break.
+Note: in multiline and grid table cells, this is the only way to create
+a hard line break, since trailing spaces in the cells are ignored.
+.SS Headers
+.PP
+There are two kinds of headers, Setext and atx.
+.SS Setext\-style headers
+.PP
+A setext\-style header is a line of text "underlined" with a row of
+\f[C]=\f[] signs (for a level one header) or \f[C]\-\f[] signs (for a
+level two header):
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+A\ level\-one\ header
+==================
+
+A\ level\-two\ header
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The header text can contain inline formatting, such as emphasis (see
+INLINE FORMATTING, below).
+.SS Atx\-style headers
+.PP
+An Atx\-style header consists of one to six \f[C]#\f[] signs and a line
+of text, optionally followed by any number of \f[C]#\f[] signs.
+The number of \f[C]#\f[] signs at the beginning of the line is the
+header level:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+##\ A\ level\-two\ header
+
+###\ A\ level\-three\ header\ ###
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+As with setext\-style headers, the header text can contain formatting:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ A\ level\-one\ header\ with\ a\ [link](/url)\ and\ *emphasis*
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]blank_before_header\f[]
+.PP
+Standard markdown syntax does not require a blank line before a header.
+Pandoc does require this (except, of course, at the beginning of the
+document).
+The reason for the requirement is that it is all too easy for a
+\f[C]#\f[] to end up at the beginning of a line by accident (perhaps
+through line wrapping).
+Consider, for example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+I\ like\ several\ of\ their\ flavors\ of\ ice\ cream:
+#22,\ for\ example,\ and\ #5.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Header identifiers in HTML, LaTeX, and ConTeXt
+.SS Extension: \f[C]header_attributes\f[]
+.PP
+Headers can be assigned attributes using this syntax at the end of the
+line containing the header text:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+{#identifier\ .class\ .class\ key=value\ key=value}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Thus, for example, the following headers will all be assigned the
+identifier \f[C]foo\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ My\ header\ {#foo}
+
+##\ My\ header\ ##\ \ \ \ {#foo}
+
+My\ other\ header\ \ \ {#foo}
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+(This syntax is compatible with PHP Markdown Extra.)
+.PP
+Note that although this syntax allows assignment of classes and
+key/value attributes, writers generally don\[aq]t use all of this
+information.
+Identifiers, classes, and key/value attributes are used in HTML and
+HTML\-based formats such as EPUB and slidy.
+Identifiers are used for labels and link anchors in the LaTeX, ConTeXt,
+Textile, and AsciiDoc writers.
+.PP
+Headers with the class \f[C]unnumbered\f[] will not be numbered, even if
+\f[C]\-\-number\-sections\f[] is specified.
+A single hyphen (\f[C]\-\f[]) in an attribute context is equivalent to
+\f[C]\&.unnumbered\f[], and preferable in non\-English documents.
+So,
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ My\ header\ {\-}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+is just the same as
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ My\ header\ {.unnumbered}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]auto_identifiers\f[]
+.PP
+A header without an explicitly specified identifier will be
+automatically assigned a unique identifier based on the header text.
+To derive the identifier from the header text,
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Remove all formatting, links, etc.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Remove all footnotes.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Remove all punctuation, except underscores, hyphens, and periods.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Replace all spaces and newlines with hyphens.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Convert all alphabetic characters to lowercase.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Remove everything up to the first letter (identifiers may not begin with
+a number or punctuation mark).
+.IP \[bu] 2
+If nothing is left after this, use the identifier \f[C]section\f[].
+.PP
+Thus, for example,
+.PP
+.TS
+tab(@);
+l l.
+T{
+Header
+T}@T{
+Identifier
+T}
+_
+T{
+Header identifiers in HTML

+.TE
+.PP
+These rules should, in most cases, allow one to determine the identifier
+from the header text.
+The exception is when several headers have the same text; in this case,
+the first will get an identifier as described above; the second will get
+the same identifier with \f[C]\-1\f[] appended; the third with
+\f[C]\-2\f[]; and so on.
+.PP
+These identifiers are used to provide link targets in the table of
+contents generated by the \f[C]\-\-toc|\-\-table\-of\-contents\f[]
+option.
+They also make it easy to provide links from one section of a document
+to another.
+A link to this section, for example, might look like this:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+See\ the\ section\ on
+[header\ identifiers](#header\-identifiers\-in\-html\-latex\-and\-context).
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note, however, that this method of providing links to sections works
+only in HTML, LaTeX, and ConTeXt formats.
+.PP
+If the \f[C]\-\-section\-divs\f[] option is specified, then each section
+will be wrapped in a \f[C]div\f[] (or a \f[C]section\f[], if
+\f[C]\-\-html5\f[] was specified), and the identifier will be attached
+to the enclosing \f[C]<div>\f[] (or \f[C]<section>\f[]) tag rather than
+the header itself.
+This allows entire sections to be manipulated using javascript or
+treated differently in CSS.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]implicit_header_references\f[]
+.PP
+Pandoc behaves as if reference links have been defined for each header.
+So, instead of
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[header\ identifiers](#header\-identifiers\-in\-html)
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+you can simply write
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[header\ identifiers]
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+or
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[header\ identifiers][]
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+or
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[the\ section\ on\ header\ identifiers][header\ identifiers]
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If there are multiple headers with identical text, the corresponding
+reference will link to the first one only, and you will need to use
+explicit links to link to the others, as described above.
+.PP
+Like regular reference links, these references are case\-insensitive.
+.PP
+Explicit link reference definitions always take priority over implicit
+header references.
+So, in the following example, the link will point to \f[C]bar\f[], not
+to \f[C]#foo\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ Foo
+
+[foo]:\ bar
+
+See\ [foo]
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Block quotations
+.PP
+Markdown uses email conventions for quoting blocks of text.
+A block quotation is one or more paragraphs or other block elements
+(such as lists or headers), with each line preceded by a \f[C]>\f[]
+character and a space.
+(The \f[C]>\f[] need not start at the left margin, but it should not be
+indented more than three spaces.)
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+>\ This\ is\ a\ block\ quote.\ This
+>\ paragraph\ has\ two\ lines.
+>
+>\ 1.\ This\ is\ a\ list\ inside\ a\ block\ quote.
+>\ 2.\ Second\ item.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+A "lazy" form, which requires the \f[C]>\f[] character only on the first
+line of each block, is also allowed:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+>\ This\ is\ a\ block\ quote.\ This
+paragraph\ has\ two\ lines.
+
+>\ 1.\ This\ is\ a\ list\ inside\ a\ block\ quote.
+2.\ Second\ item.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Among the block elements that can be contained in a block quote are
+other block quotes.
+That is, block quotes can be nested:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+>\ This\ is\ a\ block\ quote.
+>
+>\ >\ A\ block\ quote\ within\ a\ block\ quote.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]blank_before_blockquote\f[]
+.PP
+Standard markdown syntax does not require a blank line before a block
+quote.
+Pandoc does require this (except, of course, at the beginning of the
+document).
+The reason for the requirement is that it is all too easy for a
+\f[C]>\f[] to end up at the beginning of a line by accident (perhaps
+through line wrapping).
+So, unless the \f[C]markdown_strict\f[] format is used, the following
+does not produce a nested block quote in pandoc:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+>\ This\ is\ a\ block\ quote.
+>>\ Nested.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Verbatim (code) blocks
+.SS Indented code blocks
+.PP
+A block of text indented four spaces (or one tab) is treated as verbatim
+text: that is, special characters do not trigger special formatting, and
+all spaces and line breaks are preserved.
+For example,
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\ \ \ \ if\ (a\ >\ 3)\ {
+\ \ \ \ \ \ moveShip(5\ *\ gravity,\ DOWN);
+\ \ \ \ }
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The initial (four space or one tab) indentation is not considered part
+of the verbatim text, and is removed in the output.
+.PP
+Note: blank lines in the verbatim text need not begin with four spaces.
+.SS Fenced code blocks
+.SS Extension: \f[C]fenced_code_blocks\f[]
+.PP
+In addition to standard indented code blocks, Pandoc supports
+\f[I]fenced\f[] code blocks.
+These begin with a row of three or more tildes (\f[C]~\f[]) and end with
+a row of tildes that must be at least as long as the starting row.
+Everything between these lines is treated as code.
+No indentation is necessary:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+~~~~~~~
+if\ (a\ >\ 3)\ {
+\ \ moveShip(5\ *\ gravity,\ DOWN);
+}
+~~~~~~~
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Like regular code blocks, fenced code blocks must be separated from
+surrounding text by blank lines.
+.PP
+If the code itself contains a row of tildes or backticks, just use a
+longer row of tildes or backticks at the start and end:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+~~~~~~~~~~
+code\ including\ tildes
+~~~~~~~~~~
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]backtick_code_blocks\f[]
+.PP
+Same as \f[C]fenced_code_blocks\f[], but uses backticks (\f[C]`\f[])
+instead of tildes (\f[C]~\f[]).
+.SS Extension: \f[C]fenced_code_attributes\f[]
+.PP
+Optionally, you may attach attributes to fenced or backtick code block
+using this syntax:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+~~~~\ {#mycode\ .haskell\ .numberLines\ startFrom="100"}
+qsort\ []\ \ \ \ \ =\ []
+qsort\ (x:xs)\ =\ qsort\ (filter\ (<\ x)\ xs)\ ++\ [x]\ ++
+\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ qsort\ (filter\ (>=\ x)\ xs)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Here \f[C]mycode\f[] is an identifier, \f[C]haskell\f[] and
+\f[C]numberLines\f[] are classes, and \f[C]startFrom\f[] is an attribute
+with value \f[C]100\f[].
+Some output formats can use this information to do syntax highlighting.
+Currently, the only output formats that uses this information are HTML
+and LaTeX.
+If highlighting is supported for your output format and language, then
+the code block above will appear highlighted, with numbered lines.
+(To see which languages are supported, do \f[C]pandoc\ \-\-version\f[].)
+Otherwise, the code block above will appear as follows:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<pre\ id="mycode"\ class="haskell\ numberLines"\ startFrom="100">
+\ \ <code>
+\ \ ...
+\ \ </code>
+</pre>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+A shortcut form can also be used for specifying the language of the code
+block:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+```haskell
+qsort\ []\ =\ []
+```
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+This is equivalent to:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+```\ {.haskell}
+qsort\ []\ =\ []
+```
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If the \f[C]fenced_code_attributes\f[] extension is disabled, but input
+contains class attribute(s) for the codeblock, the first class attribute
+will be printed after the opening fence as a bare word.
+.PP
+To prevent all highlighting, use the \f[C]\-\-no\-highlight\f[] flag.
+To set the highlighting style, use \f[C]\-\-highlight\-style\f[].
+For more information on highlighting, see SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING, below.
+.SS Line blocks
+.SS Extension: \f[C]line_blocks\f[]
+.PP
+A line block is a sequence of lines beginning with a vertical bar
+(\f[C]|\f[]) followed by a space.
+The division into lines will be preserved in the output, as will any
+leading spaces; otherwise, the lines will be formatted as markdown.
+This is useful for verse and addresses:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+|\ The\ limerick\ packs\ laughs\ anatomical
+|\ In\ space\ that\ is\ quite\ economical.
+|\ \ \ \ But\ the\ good\ ones\ I\[aq]ve\ seen

+|\ And\ the\ clean\ ones\ so\ seldom\ are\ comical
+
+|\ 200\ Main\ St.
+|\ Berkeley,\ CA\ 94718
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The lines can be hard\-wrapped if needed, but the continuation line must
+begin with a space.
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]

+\ \ Constable,\ Jr.
+|\ 200\ Main\ St.
+|\ Berkeley,\ CA\ 94718
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+This syntax is borrowed from reStructuredText.
+.SS Lists
+.SS Bullet lists
+.PP
+A bullet list is a list of bulleted list items.
+A bulleted list item begins with a bullet (\f[C]*\f[], \f[C]+\f[], or
+\f[C]\-\f[]).
+Here is a simple example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*\ one
+*\ two
+*\ three
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+This will produce a "compact" list.
+If you want a "loose" list, in which each item is formatted as a
+paragraph, put spaces between the items:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*\ one
+
+*\ two
+
+*\ three
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The bullets need not be flush with the left margin; they may be indented
+one, two, or three spaces.
+The bullet must be followed by whitespace.
+.PP
+List items look best if subsequent lines are flush with the first line
+(after the bullet):
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*\ here\ is\ my\ first
+\ \ list\ item.
+*\ and\ my\ second.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+But markdown also allows a "lazy" format:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*\ here\ is\ my\ first
+list\ item.
+*\ and\ my\ second.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS The four\-space rule
+.PP
+A list item may contain multiple paragraphs and other block\-level
+content.
+However, subsequent paragraphs must be preceded by a blank line and
+indented four spaces or a tab.
+The list will look better if the first paragraph is aligned with the
+rest:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\ \ *\ First\ paragraph.
+

+instead of indenting continuation lines.
+However, if there are multiple paragraphs or other blocks in a list
+item, the first line of each must be indented.

+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+\f[B]Note:\f[] Although the four\-space rule for continuation paragraphs
+comes from the official markdown syntax guide, the reference
+implementation, \f[C]Markdown.pl\f[], does not follow it.
+So pandoc will give different results than \f[C]Markdown.pl\f[] when
+authors have indented continuation paragraphs fewer than four spaces.
+.PP
+The markdown syntax guide is not explicit whether the four\-space rule
+applies to \f[I]all\f[] block\-level content in a list item; it only
+mentions paragraphs and code blocks.
+But it implies that the rule applies to all block\-level content
+(including nested lists), and pandoc interprets it that way.
+.SS Ordered lists
+.PP
+Ordered lists work just like bulleted lists, except that the items begin
+with enumerators rather than bullets.
+.PP
+In standard markdown, enumerators are decimal numbers followed by a
+period and a space.
+The numbers themselves are ignored, so there is no difference between
+this list:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+1.\ \ one
+2.\ \ two
+3.\ \ three
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+and this one:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+5.\ \ one
+7.\ \ two
+1.\ \ three
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]fancy_lists\f[]
+.PP
+Unlike standard markdown, Pandoc allows ordered list items to be marked
+with uppercase and lowercase letters and roman numerals, in addition to
+arabic numerals.
+List markers may be enclosed in parentheses or followed by a single
+right\-parentheses or period.
+They must be separated from the text that follows by at least one space,
+and, if the list marker is a capital letter with a period, by at least
+two spaces.
+.PP
+The \f[C]fancy_lists\f[] extension also allows \[aq]\f[C]#\f[]\[aq] to
+be used as an ordered list marker in place of a numeral:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#.\ one
+#.\ two
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]startnum\f[]
+.PP
+Pandoc also pays attention to the type of list marker used, and to the
+starting number, and both of these are preserved where possible in the
+output format.
+Thus, the following yields a list with numbers followed by a single
+parenthesis, starting with 9, and a sublist with lowercase roman
+numerals:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\ 9)\ \ Ninth
+10)\ \ Tenth
+11)\ \ Eleventh
+\ \ \ \ \ \ \ i.\ subone
+\ \ \ \ \ \ ii.\ subtwo
+\ \ \ \ \ iii.\ subthree
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Pandoc will start a new list each time a different type of list marker
+is used.
+So, the following will create three lists:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+(2)\ Two
+(5)\ Three
+1.\ \ Four
+*\ \ \ Five
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If default list markers are desired, use \f[C]#.\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#.\ \ one
+#.\ \ two
+#.\ \ three
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Definition lists
+.SS Extension: \f[C]definition_lists\f[]
+.PP
+Pandoc supports definition lists, using the syntax of PHP Markdown Extra
+with some extensions.
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Term\ 1
+
+:\ \ \ Definition\ 1
+
+Term\ 2\ with\ *inline\ markup*
+
+:\ \ \ Definition\ 2
+
+\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ {\ some\ code,\ part\ of\ Definition\ 2\ }
+
+\ \ \ \ Third\ paragraph\ of\ definition\ 2.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Each term must fit on one line, which may optionally be followed by a
+blank line, and must be followed by one or more definitions.
+A definition begins with a colon or tilde, which may be indented one or
+two spaces.
+.PP
+A term may have multiple definitions, and each definition may consist of
+one or more block elements (paragraph, code block, list, etc.), each
+indented four spaces or one tab stop.
+The body of the definition (including the first line, aside from the
+colon or tilde) should be indented four spaces.
+However, as with other markdown lists, you can "lazily" omit indentation
+except at the beginning of a paragraph or other block element:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Term\ 1
+
+:\ \ \ Definition
+with\ lazy\ continuation.
+
+\ \ \ \ Second\ paragraph\ of\ the\ definition.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If you leave space before the definition (as in the example above), the
+text of the definition will be treated as a paragraph.
+In some output formats, this will mean greater spacing between
+term/definition pairs.
+For a more compact definition list, omit the space before the
+definition:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Term\ 1
+\ \ ~\ Definition\ 1
+
+Term\ 2
+\ \ ~\ Definition\ 2a
+\ \ ~\ Definition\ 2b
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that space between items in a definition list is required.
+(A variant that loosens this requirement, but disallows "lazy" hard
+wrapping, can be activated with \f[C]compact_definition_lists\f[]: see
+NON\-PANDOC EXTENSIONS, below.)
+.SS Numbered example lists
+.SS Extension: \f[C]example_lists\f[]
+.PP
+The special list marker \f[C]\@\f[] can be used for sequentially
+numbered examples.
+The first list item with a \f[C]\@\f[] marker will be numbered
+\[aq]1\[aq], the next \[aq]2\[aq], and so on, throughout the document.
+The numbered examples need not occur in a single list; each new list
+using \f[C]\@\f[] will take up where the last stopped.
+So, for example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+(\@)\ \ My\ first\ example\ will\ be\ numbered\ (1).
+(\@)\ \ My\ second\ example\ will\ be\ numbered\ (2).
+
+Explanation\ of\ examples.
+
+(\@)\ \ My\ third\ example\ will\ be\ numbered\ (3).
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Numbered examples can be labeled and referred to elsewhere in the
+document:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+(\@good)\ \ This\ is\ a\ good\ example.
+
+As\ (\@good)\ illustrates,\ ...
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The label can be any string of alphanumeric characters, underscores, or
+hyphens.
+.SS Compact and loose lists
+.PP
+Pandoc behaves differently from \f[C]Markdown.pl\f[] on some "edge
+cases" involving lists.
+Consider this source:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
++\ \ \ First
++\ \ \ Second:
+\ \ \ \ \-\ \ \ Fee
+\ \ \ \ \-\ \ \ Fie
+\ \ \ \ \-\ \ \ Foe
+
++\ \ \ Third
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Pandoc transforms this into a "compact list" (with no \f[C]<p>\f[] tags
+around "First", "Second", or "Third"), while markdown puts \f[C]<p>\f[]
+tags around "Second" and "Third" (but not "First"), because of the blank
+space around "Third".
+Pandoc follows a simple rule: if the text is followed by a blank line,
+it is treated as a paragraph.
+Since "Second" is followed by a list, and not a blank line, it isn\[aq]t
+treated as a paragraph.
+The fact that the list is followed by a blank line is irrelevant.
+(Note: Pandoc works this way even when the \f[C]markdown_strict\f[]
+format is specified.
+This behavior is consistent with the official markdown syntax
+description, even though it is different from that of
+\f[C]Markdown.pl\f[].)
+.SS Ending a list
+.PP
+What if you want to put an indented code block after a list?
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\-\ \ \ item\ one
+\-\ \ \ item\ two
+
+\ \ \ \ {\ my\ code\ block\ }
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Trouble! Here pandoc (like other markdown implementations) will treat
+\f[C]{\ my\ code\ block\ }\f[] as the second paragraph of item two, and
+not as a code block.
+.PP
+To "cut off" the list after item two, you can insert some non\-indented
+content, like an HTML comment, which won\[aq]t produce visible output in
+any format:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\-\ \ \ item\ one
+\-\ \ \ item\ two
+
+<!\-\-\ end\ of\ list\ \-\->
+
+\ \ \ \ {\ my\ code\ block\ }
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+You can use the same trick if you want two consecutive lists instead of
+one big list:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+1.\ \ one
+2.\ \ two
+3.\ \ three
+
+<!\-\-\ \-\->
+
+1.\ \ uno
+2.\ \ dos
+3.\ \ tres
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Horizontal rules
+.PP
+A line containing a row of three or more \f[C]*\f[], \f[C]\-\f[], or
+\f[C]_\f[] characters (optionally separated by spaces) produces a
+horizontal rule:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*\ \ *\ \ *\ \ *
+
+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Tables
+.PP
+Four kinds of tables may be used.
+The first three kinds presuppose the use of a fixed\-width font, such as
+Courier.
+The fourth kind can be used with proportionally spaced fonts, as it does
+not require lining up columns.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]table_captions\f[]
+.PP
+A caption may optionally be provided with all 4 kinds of tables (as
+illustrated in the examples below).
+A caption is a paragraph beginning with the string \f[C]Table:\f[] (or
+just \f[C]:\f[]), which will be stripped off.
+It may appear either before or after the table.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]simple_tables\f[]

+Table:\ \ Demonstration\ of\ simple\ table\ syntax.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The headers and table rows must each fit on one line.
+Column alignments are determined by the position of the header text
+relative to the dashed line below it:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+If the dashed line is flush with the header text on the right side but
+extends beyond it on the left, the column is right\-aligned.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+If the dashed line is flush with the header text on the left side but
+extends beyond it on the right, the column is left\-aligned.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+If the dashed line extends beyond the header text on both sides, the
+column is centered.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+If the dashed line is flush with the header text on both sides, the
+default alignment is used (in most cases, this will be left).
+.PP
+The table must end with a blank line, or a line of dashes followed by a
+blank line.
+.PP
+The column headers may be omitted, provided a dashed line is used to end
+the table.
+For example:

+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+When headers are omitted, column alignments are determined on the basis
+of the first line of the table body.
+So, in the tables above, the columns would be right, left, center, and
+right aligned, respectively.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]multiline_tables\f[]
+.PP
+Multiline tables allow headers and table rows to span multiple lines of

+\f[]

+.PP
+These work like simple tables, but with the following differences:

+They must begin with a row of dashes, before the header text (unless the
+headers are omitted).
+.IP \[bu] 2
+They must end with a row of dashes, then a blank line.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+The rows must be separated by blank lines.
+.PP
+In multiline tables, the table parser pays attention to the widths of
+the columns, and the writers try to reproduce these relative widths in
+the output.
+So, if you find that one of the columns is too narrow in the output, try
+widening it in the markdown source.

+.PP
+The syntax is the same as in PHP markdown extra.
+The beginning and ending pipe characters are optional, but pipes are
+required between all columns.
+The colons indicate column alignment as shown.
+The header cannot be omitted.
+To simulate a headerless table, include a header with blank cells.
+.PP
+Since the pipes indicate column boundaries, columns need not be
+vertically aligned, as they are in the above example.
+So, this is a perfectly legal (though ugly) pipe table:

+\f[C]
+fruit|\ price
+\-\-\-\-\-|\-\-\-\-\-:
+apple|2.05
+pear|1.37
+orange|3.09
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The cells of pipe tables cannot contain block elements like paragraphs
+and lists, and cannot span multiple lines.
+Note also that in LaTeX/PDF output, the cells produced by pipe tables
+will not wrap, since there is no information available about relative
+widths.
+If you want content to wrap within cells, use multiline or grid tables.
+.PP
+Note: Pandoc also recognizes pipe tables of the following form, as can
+be produced by Emacs\[aq] orgtbl\-mode:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+|\ One\ |\ Two\ \ \ |
+|\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-|
+|\ my\ \ |\ table\ |
+|\ is\ \ |\ nice\ \ |
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The difference is that \f[C]+\f[] is used instead of \f[C]|\f[].
+Other orgtbl features are not supported.

+add colons as above.

+.IP

+%\ date
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+it will be parsed as bibliographic information, not regular text.
+(It will be used, for example, in the title of standalone LaTeX or HTML
+output.) The block may contain just a title, a title and an author, or
+all three elements.
+If you want to include an author but no title, or a title and a date but
+no author, you need a blank line:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+%
+%\ Author
+
+%\ My\ title
+%
+%\ June\ 15,\ 2006
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The title may occupy multiple lines, but continuation lines must begin
+with leading space, thus:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+%\ My\ title
+\ \ on\ multiple\ lines
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If a document has multiple authors, the authors may be put on separate
+lines with leading space, or separated by semicolons, or both.
+So, all of the following are equivalent:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+%\ Author\ One
+\ \ Author\ Two
+
+%\ Author\ One;\ Author\ Two
+
+%\ Author\ One;
+\ \ Author\ Two
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The date must fit on one line.
+.PP
+All three metadata fields may contain standard inline formatting
+(italics, links, footnotes, etc.).
+.PP
+Title blocks will always be parsed, but they will affect the output only
+when the \f[C]\-\-standalone\f[] (\f[C]\-s\f[]) option is chosen.
+In HTML output, titles will appear twice: once in the document head \-\-
+this is the title that will appear at the top of the window in a browser
+\-\- and once at the beginning of the document body.
+The title in the document head can have an optional prefix attached
+(\f[C]\-\-title\-prefix\f[] or \f[C]\-T\f[] option).
+The title in the body appears as an H1 element with class "title", so it
+can be suppressed or reformatted with CSS.
+If a title prefix is specified with \f[C]\-T\f[] and no title block
+appears in the document, the title prefix will be used by itself as the
+HTML title.
+.PP
+The man page writer extracts a title, man page section number, and other
+header and footer information from the title line.
+The title is assumed to be the first word on the title line, which may
+optionally end with a (single\-digit) section number in parentheses.
+(There should be no space between the title and the parentheses.)
+Anything after this is assumed to be additional footer and header text.
+A single pipe character (\f[C]|\f[]) should be used to separate the
+footer text from the header text.
+Thus,
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+%\ PANDOC(1)

+When pandoc is used with \f[C]\-t\ markdown\f[] to create a markdown
+document, a YAML metadata block will be produced only if the
+\f[C]\-s/\-\-standalone\f[] option is used.
+All of the metadata will appear in a single block at the beginning of
+the document.
+.PP
+Note that YAML escaping rules must be followed.
+Thus, for example, if a title contains a colon, it must be quoted.
+The pipe character (\f[C]|\f[]) can be used to begin an indented block
+that will be interpreted literally, without need for escaping.
+This form is necessary when the field contains blank lines:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\-\-\-
+title:\ \ \[aq]This\ is\ the\ title:\ it\ contains\ a\ colon\[aq]
+author:
+\-\ name:\ Author\ One
+\ \ affiliation:\ University\ of\ Somewhere
+\-\ name:\ Author\ Two
+\ \ affiliation:\ University\ of\ Nowhere
+tags:\ [nothing,\ nothingness]
+abstract:\ |
+\ \ This\ is\ the\ abstract.
+
+\ \ It\ consists\ of\ two\ paragraphs.
+\&...
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Template variables will be set automatically from the metadata.
+Thus, for example, in writing HTML, the variable \f[C]abstract\f[] will
+be set to the HTML equivalent of the markdown in the \f[C]abstract\f[]
+field:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<p>This\ is\ the\ abstract.</p>
+<p>It\ consists\ of\ two\ paragraphs.</p>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note: The \f[C]author\f[] variable in the default templates expects a
+simple list or string.
+To use the structured authors in the example, you would need a custom
+template.
+For example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+$for(author)$
+$if(author.name)$
+$author.name$$if(author.affiliation)$\ ($author.affiliation$)$endif$
+$else$
+$author$
+$endif$
+$endfor$
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Backslash escapes
+.SS Extension: \f[C]all_symbols_escapable\f[]
+.PP
+Except inside a code block or inline code, any punctuation or space
+character preceded by a backslash will be treated literally, even if it
+would normally indicate formatting.
+Thus, for example, if one writes
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*\\*hello\\**
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+one will get
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<em>*hello*</em>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+instead of
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<strong>hello</strong>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+This rule is easier to remember than standard markdown\[aq]s rule, which
+allows only the following characters to be backslash\-escaped:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\\`*_{}[]()>#+\-.!
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+(However, if the \f[C]markdown_strict\f[] format is used, the standard
+markdown rule will be used.)
+.PP
+A backslash\-escaped space is parsed as a nonbreaking space.
+It will appear in TeX output as \f[C]~\f[] and in HTML and XML as
+\f[C]\\&#160;\f[] or \f[C]\\&nbsp;\f[].
+.PP
+A backslash\-escaped newline (i.e.
+a backslash occurring at the end of a line) is parsed as a hard line
+break.
+It will appear in TeX output as \f[C]\\\\\f[] and in HTML as
+\f[C]<br\ />\f[].
+This is a nice alternative to markdown\[aq]s "invisible" way of
+indicating hard line breaks using two trailing spaces on a line.
+.PP
+Backslash escapes do not work in verbatim contexts.
+.SS Smart punctuation
+.SS Extension
+.PP
+If the \f[C]\-\-smart\f[] option is specified, pandoc will produce
+typographically correct output, converting straight quotes to curly
+quotes, \f[C]\-\-\-\f[] to em\-dashes, \f[C]\-\-\f[] to en\-dashes, and
+\f[C]\&...\f[] to ellipses.
+Nonbreaking spaces are inserted after certain abbreviations, such as
+"Mr."
+.PP
+Note: if your LaTeX template uses the \f[C]csquotes\f[] package, pandoc
+will detect automatically this and use \f[C]\\enquote{...}\f[] for
+quoted text.
+.SS Inline formatting
+.SS Emphasis
+.PP
+To \f[I]emphasize\f[] some text, surround it with \f[C]*\f[]s or
+\f[C]_\f[], like this:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ text\ is\ _emphasized\ with\ underscores_,\ and\ this
+is\ *emphasized\ with\ asterisks*.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Double \f[C]*\f[] or \f[C]_\f[] produces \f[B]strong emphasis\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ is\ **strong\ emphasis**\ and\ __with\ underscores__.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+A \f[C]*\f[] or \f[C]_\f[] character surrounded by spaces, or
+backslash\-escaped, will not trigger emphasis:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ is\ *\ not\ emphasized\ *,\ and\ \\*neither\ is\ this\\*.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]intraword_underscores\f[]
+.PP
+Because \f[C]_\f[] is sometimes used inside words and identifiers,
+pandoc does not interpret a \f[C]_\f[] surrounded by alphanumeric
+characters as an emphasis marker.
+If you want to emphasize just part of a word, use \f[C]*\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+feas*ible*,\ not\ feas*able*.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Strikeout
+.SS Extension: \f[C]strikeout\f[]
+.PP
+To strikeout a section of text with a horizontal line, begin and end it
+with \f[C]~~\f[].
+Thus, for example,
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ ~~is\ deleted\ text.~~
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Superscripts and subscripts
+.SS Extension: \f[C]superscript\f[], \f[C]subscript\f[]
+.PP
+Superscripts may be written by surrounding the superscripted text by
+\f[C]^\f[] characters; subscripts may be written by surrounding the
+subscripted text by \f[C]~\f[] characters.
+Thus, for example,
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+H~2~O\ is\ a\ liquid.\ \ 2^10^\ is\ 1024.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If the superscripted or subscripted text contains spaces, these spaces
+must be escaped with backslashes.
+(This is to prevent accidental superscripting and subscripting through
+the ordinary use of \f[C]~\f[] and \f[C]^\f[].) Thus, if you want the
+letter P with \[aq]a cat\[aq] in subscripts, use \f[C]P~a\\\ cat~\f[],
+not \f[C]P~a\ cat~\f[].
+.SS Verbatim
+.PP
+To make a short span of text verbatim, put it inside backticks:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+What\ is\ the\ difference\ between\ `>>=`\ and\ `>>`?
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If the verbatim text includes a backtick, use double backticks:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Here\ is\ a\ literal\ backtick\ ``\ `\ ``.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+(The spaces after the opening backticks and before the closing backticks
+will be ignored.)
+.PP
+The general rule is that a verbatim span starts with a string of
+consecutive backticks (optionally followed by a space) and ends with a
+string of the same number of backticks (optionally preceded by a space).
+.PP
+Note that backslash\-escapes (and other markdown constructs) do not work
+in verbatim contexts:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ is\ a\ backslash\ followed\ by\ an\ asterisk:\ `\\*`.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]inline_code_attributes\f[]
+.PP
+Attributes can be attached to verbatim text, just as with FENCED CODE
+BLOCKS:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+`<$>`{.haskell}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Small caps
+.PP
+To write small caps, you can use an HTML span tag:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<span\ style="font\-variant:small\-caps;">Small\ caps</span>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+(The semicolon is optional and there may be space after the colon.) This
+will work in all output formats that support small caps.
+.SS Math
+.SS Extension: \f[C]tex_math_dollars\f[]
+.PP
+Anything between two \f[C]$\f[] characters will be treated as TeX math.
+The opening \f[C]$\f[] must have a non\-space character immediately to
+its right, while the closing \f[C]$\f[] must have a non\-space character
+immediately to its left, and must not be followed immediately by a
+digit.
+Thus, \f[C]$20,000\ and\ $30,000\f[] won\[aq]t parse as math.
+If for some reason you need to enclose text in literal \f[C]$\f[]
+characters, backslash\-escape them and they won\[aq]t be treated as math
+delimiters.
+.PP
+TeX math will be printed in all output formats.
+How it is rendered depends on the output format:
+.TP
+.B Markdown, LaTeX, Org\-Mode, ConTeXt
+It will appear verbatim between \f[C]$\f[] characters.

+.RS
+.RE
+.TP
+.B HTML, Slidy, DZSlides, S5, EPUB
+The way math is rendered in HTML will depend on the command\-line
+options selected:
+.RS
+.IP "1." 3
+The default is to render TeX math as far as possible using unicode
+characters, as with RTF, DocBook, and OpenDocument output.
+Formulas are put inside a \f[C]span\f[] with \f[C]class="math"\f[], so
+that they may be styled differently from the surrounding text if needed.
+.IP "2." 3
+If the \f[C]\-\-latexmathml\f[] option is used, TeX math will be
+displayed between \f[C]$\f[] or \f[C]$$\f[] characters and put in
+\f[C]<span>\f[] tags with class \f[C]LaTeX\f[].
+The LaTeXMathML script will be used to render it as formulas.
+(This trick does not work in all browsers, but it works in Firefox.
+In browsers that do not support LaTeXMathML, TeX math will appear
+verbatim between \f[C]$\f[] characters.)
+.IP "3." 3
+If the \f[C]\-\-jsmath\f[] option is used, TeX math will be put inside
+\f[C]<span>\f[] tags (for inline math) or \f[C]<div>\f[] tags (for
+display math) with class \f[C]math\f[].
+The jsMath script will be used to render it.
+.IP "4." 3
+If the \f[C]\-\-mimetex\f[] option is used, the mimeTeX CGI script will
+be called to generate images for each TeX formula.
+This should work in all browsers.
+The \f[C]\-\-mimetex\f[] option takes an optional URL as argument.
+If no URL is specified, it will be assumed that the mimeTeX CGI script
+is at \f[C]/cgi\-bin/mimetex.cgi\f[].
+.IP "5." 3
+If the \f[C]\-\-gladtex\f[] option is used, TeX formulas will be
+enclosed in \f[C]<eq>\f[] tags in the HTML output.
+The resulting \f[C]htex\f[] file may then be processed by gladTeX, which
+will produce image files for each formula and an \f[C]html\f[] file with
+links to these images.
+So, the procedure is:
+.RS 4
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-s\ \-\-gladtex\ myfile.txt\ \-o\ myfile.htex
+gladtex\ \-d\ myfile\-images\ myfile.htex
+#\ produces\ myfile.html\ and\ images\ in\ myfile\-images
+\f[]
+.fi
+.RE
+.IP "6." 3
+If the \f[C]\-\-webtex\f[] option is used, TeX formulas will be
+converted to \f[C]<img>\f[] tags that link to an external script that
+converts formulas to images.
+The formula will be URL\-encoded and concatenated with the URL provided.
+If no URL is specified, the Google Chart API will be used
+(\f[C]http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=\f[]).
+.IP "7." 3
+If the \f[C]\-\-mathjax\f[] option is used, TeX math will be displayed
+between \f[C]\\(...\\)\f[] (for inline math) or \f[C]\\[...\\]\f[] (for
+display math) and put in \f[C]<span>\f[] tags with class \f[C]math\f[].
+The MathJax script will be used to render it as formulas.
+.RE
+.SS Raw HTML
+.SS Extension: \f[C]raw_html\f[]
+.PP
+Markdown allows you to insert raw HTML (or DocBook) anywhere in a
+document (except verbatim contexts, where \f[C]<\f[], \f[C]>\f[], and
+\f[C]&\f[] are interpreted literally).
+(Technically this is not an extension, since standard markdown allows
+it, but it has been made an extension so that it can be disabled if
+desired.)
+.PP
+The raw HTML is passed through unchanged in HTML, S5, Slidy, Slideous,
+DZSlides, EPUB, Markdown, and Textile output, and suppressed in other
+formats.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]markdown_in_html_blocks\f[]
+.PP
+Standard markdown allows you to include HTML "blocks": blocks of HTML
+between balanced tags that are separated from the surrounding text with
+blank lines, and start and end at the left margin.
+Within these blocks, everything is interpreted as HTML, not markdown; so
+(for example), \f[C]*\f[] does not signify emphasis.
+.PP
+Pandoc behaves this way when the \f[C]markdown_strict\f[] format is
+used; but by default, pandoc interprets material between HTML block tags
+as markdown.
+Thus, for example, Pandoc will turn
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td>*one*</td>
+<td>[a\ link](http://google.com)</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+into
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td><em>one</em></td>
+<td><a\ href="http://google.com">a\ link</a></td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+whereas \f[C]Markdown.pl\f[] will preserve it as is.
+.PP
+There is one exception to this rule: text between \f[C]<script>\f[] and
+\f[C]<style>\f[] tags is not interpreted as markdown.
+.PP
+This departure from standard markdown should make it easier to mix
+markdown with HTML block elements.
+For example, one can surround a block of markdown text with
+\f[C]<div>\f[] tags without preventing it from being interpreted as
+markdown.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]native_divs\f[]
+.PP
+Use native pandoc \f[C]Div\f[] blocks for content inside \f[C]<div>\f[]
+tags.
+For the most part this should give the same output as
+\f[C]markdown_in_html_blocks\f[], but it makes it easier to write pandoc
+filters to manipulate groups of blocks.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]native_spans\f[]
+.PP
+Use native pandoc \f[C]Span\f[] blocks for content inside
+\f[C]<span>\f[] tags.
+For the most part this should give the same output as \f[C]raw_html\f[],
+but it makes it easier to write pandoc filters to manipulate groups of
+inlines.
+.SS Raw TeX
+.SS Extension: \f[C]raw_tex\f[]
+.PP
+In addition to raw HTML, pandoc allows raw LaTeX, TeX, and ConTeXt to be
+included in a document.
+Inline TeX commands will be preserved and passed unchanged to the LaTeX
+and ConTeXt writers.
+Thus, for example, you can use LaTeX to include BibTeX citations:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ result\ was\ proved\ in\ \\cite{jones.1967}.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that in LaTeX environments, like
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}\\hline
+Age\ &\ Frequency\ \\\\\ \\hline
+18\-\-25\ \ &\ 15\ \\\\
+26\-\-35\ \ &\ 33\ \\\\
+36\-\-45\ \ &\ 22\ \\\\\ \\hline
+\\end{tabular}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+the material between the begin and end tags will be interpreted as raw
+LaTeX, not as markdown.
+.PP
+Inline LaTeX is ignored in output formats other than Markdown, LaTeX,
+and ConTeXt.
+.SS LaTeX macros
+.SS Extension: \f[C]latex_macros\f[]
+.PP
+For output formats other than LaTeX, pandoc will parse LaTeX
+\f[C]\\newcommand\f[] and \f[C]\\renewcommand\f[] definitions and apply
+the resulting macros to all LaTeX math.
+So, for example, the following will work in all output formats, not just
+LaTeX:
+.PP
+⟨\f[I]a\f[], \f[I]b\f[], \f[I]c\f[]⟩
+.PP
+In LaTeX output, the \f[C]\\newcommand\f[] definition will simply be
+passed unchanged to the output.
+.SS Links
+.PP
+Markdown allows links to be specified in several ways.
+.SS Automatic links
+.PP
+If you enclose a URL or email address in pointy brackets, it will become
+a link:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<http://google.com>
+<sam\@green.eggs.ham>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Inline links
+.PP
+An inline link consists of the link text in square brackets, followed by
+the URL in parentheses.
+(Optionally, the URL can be followed by a link title, in quotes.)
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+This\ is\ an\ [inline\ link](/url),\ and\ here\[aq]s\ [one\ with
+a\ title](http://fsf.org\ "click\ here\ for\ a\ good\ time!").
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+There can be no space between the bracketed part and the parenthesized
+part.
+The link text can contain formatting (such as emphasis), but the title
+cannot.
+.PP
+Email addresses in inline links are not autodetected, so they have to be
+prefixed with \f[C]mailto\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[Write\ me!](mailto:sam\@green.eggs.ham)
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Reference links
+.PP
+An \f[I]explicit\f[] reference link has two parts, the link itself and
+the link definition, which may occur elsewhere in the document (either
+before or after the link).
+.PP
+The link consists of link text in square brackets, followed by a label
+in square brackets.
+(There can be space between the two.) The link definition consists of
+the bracketed label, followed by a colon and a space, followed by the
+URL, and optionally (after a space) a link title either in quotes or in
+parentheses.
+The label must not be parseable as a citation (assuming the
+\f[C]citations\f[] extension is enabled): citations take precedence over
+link labels.
+.PP
+Here are some examples:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[my\ label\ 1]:\ /foo/bar.html\ \ "My\ title,\ optional"
+[my\ label\ 2]:\ /foo
+[my\ label\ 3]:\ http://fsf.org\ (The\ free\ software\ foundation)
+[my\ label\ 4]:\ /bar#special\ \ \[aq]A\ title\ in\ single\ quotes\[aq]
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The URL may optionally be surrounded by angle brackets:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[my\ label\ 5]:\ <http://foo.bar.baz>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The title may go on the next line:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+[my\ label\ 3]:\ http://fsf.org
+\ \ "The\ free\ software\ foundation"
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that link labels are not case sensitive.
+So, this will work:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Here\ is\ [my\ link][FOO]
+
+[Foo]:\ /bar/baz
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+In an \f[I]implicit\f[] reference link, the second pair of brackets is
+empty:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+See\ [my\ website][].
+
+[my\ website]:\ http://foo.bar.baz
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note: In \f[C]Markdown.pl\f[] and most other markdown implementations,
+reference link definitions cannot occur in nested constructions such as
+list items or block quotes.
+Pandoc lifts this arbitrary seeming restriction.
+So the following is fine in pandoc, though not in most other
+implementations:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+>\ My\ block\ [quote].
+>
+>\ [quote]:\ /foo
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]shortcut_reference_links\f[]
+.PP
+In a \f[I]shortcut\f[] reference link, the second pair of brackets may
+be omitted entirely:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+See\ [my\ website].
+
+[my\ website]:\ http://foo.bar.baz
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Internal links
+.PP
+To link to another section of the same document, use the automatically
+generated identifier (see HEADER IDENTIFIERS IN HTML, LATEX, AND
+CONTEXT, below).
+For example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+See\ the\ [Introduction](#introduction).
+\f[]

+.PP
+or
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+See\ the\ [Introduction].

+[Introduction]:\ #introduction
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Internal links are currently supported for HTML formats (including HTML
+slide shows and EPUB), LaTeX, and ConTeXt.
+.SS Images
+.PP
+A link immediately preceded by a \f[C]!\f[] will be treated as an image.
+The link text will be used as the image\[aq]s alt text:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+![la\ lune](lalune.jpg\ "Voyage\ to\ the\ moon")
+
+![movie\ reel]
+
+[movie\ reel]:\ movie.gif
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Extension: \f[C]implicit_figures\f[]
+.PP
+An image occurring by itself in a paragraph will be rendered as a figure
+with a caption. (In LaTeX, a figure environment will be used; in HTML,
+the image will be placed in a \f[C]div\f[] with class \f[C]figure\f[],
+together with a caption in a \f[C]p\f[] with class \f[C]caption\f[].)
+The image\[aq]s alt text will be used as the caption.
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+![This\ is\ the\ caption](/url/of/image.png)
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If you just want a regular inline image, just make sure it is not the
+only thing in the paragraph.
+One way to do this is to insert a nonbreaking space after the image:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+![This\ image\ won\[aq]t\ be\ a\ figure](/url/of/image.png)\\
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Footnotes
+.SS Extension: \f[C]footnotes\f[]
+.PP
+Pandoc\[aq]s markdown allows footnotes, using the following syntax:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Here\ is\ a\ footnote\ reference,[^1]\ and\ another.[^longnote]
+
+[^1]:\ Here\ is\ the\ footnote.

+
+This\ paragraph\ won\[aq]t\ be\ part\ of\ the\ note,\ because\ it
+isn\[aq]t\ indented.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The identifiers in footnote references may not contain spaces, tabs, or
+newlines.
+These identifiers are used only to correlate the footnote reference with
+the note itself; in the output, footnotes will be numbered sequentially.
+.PP
+The footnotes themselves need not be placed at the end of the document.
+They may appear anywhere except inside other block elements (lists,
+block quotes, tables, etc.).
+.SS Extension: \f[C]inline_notes\f[]
+.PP
+Inline footnotes are also allowed (though, unlike regular notes, they
+cannot contain multiple paragraphs).
+The syntax is as follows:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]

+Inline and regular footnotes may be mixed freely.
+.SS Citations
+.SS Extension: \f[C]citations\f[]

+In order to use this feature, you will need to specify a bibliography
+file using the \f[C]bibliography\f[] metadata field in a YAML metadata
+section, or \f[C]\-\-bibliography\f[] command line argument.
+You can supply multiple \f[C]\-\-bibliography\f[] arguments or set
+\f[C]bibliography\f[] metadata field to YAML array, if you want to use
+multiple bibliography files.
+The bibliography may have any of these formats:

+.PP
+Note that \f[C]\&.bib\f[] can generally be used with both BibTeX and
+BibLaTeX files, but you can use \f[C]\&.bibtex\f[] to force BibTeX.
+.PP
+Note that \f[C]pandoc\-citeproc\ \-\-bib2json\f[] and
+\f[C]pandoc\-citeproc\ \-\-bib2yaml\f[] can produce \f[C]\&.json\f[] and
+\f[C]\&.yaml\f[] files from any of the supported formats.
+.PP
+In\-field markup: In bibtex and biblatex databases, pandoc\-citeproc
+parses (a subset of) LaTeX markup; in CSL JSON databases, an HTML\-like
+markup (specs); and in CSL YAML databases, pandoc markdown.
+\f[C]pandoc\-citeproc\ \-j\f[] and \f[C]\-y\f[] interconvert these
+markup formats as far as possible.
+.PP
+As an alternative to specifying a bibliography file, you can include the
+citation data directly in the \f[C]references\f[] field of the
+document\[aq]s YAML metadata.
+The field should contain an array of YAML\-encoded references, for
+example:

+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+(\f[C]pandoc\-citeproc\ \-\-bib2yaml\f[] can produce these from a
+bibliography file in one of the supported formats.)
+.PP
+By default, \f[C]pandoc\-citeproc\f[] will use the Chicago Manual of
+Style author\-date format for citations and references.
+To use another style, you will need to specify a CSL 1.0 style file in
+the \f[C]csl\f[] metadata field.
+A repository of CSL styles can be found at
+https://github.com/citation\-style\-language/styles.
+See also http://zotero.org/styles for easy browsing.
+A primer on creating and modifying CSL styles can be found at
+http://citationstyles.org/downloads/primer.html.
+.PP
+Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
+Each citation must have a key, composed of \[aq]\@\[aq] + the citation
+identifier from the database, and may optionally have a prefix, a
+locator, and a suffix.
+The citation key must begin with a letter, digit, or \f[C]_\f[], and may
+contain alphanumerics, \f[C]_\f[], and internal punctuation characters
+(\f[C]:.#$%&\-+?<>~/\f[]).
+Here are some examples:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Blah\ blah\ [see\ \@doe99,\ pp.\ 33\-35;\ also\ \@smith04,\ ch.\ 1].
+
+Blah\ blah\ [\@doe99,\ pp.\ 33\-35,\ 38\-39\ and\ *passim*].
+
+Blah\ blah\ [\@smith04;\ \@doe99].
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+A minus sign (\f[C]\-\f[]) before the \f[C]\@\f[] will suppress mention
+of the author in the citation.
+This can be useful when the author is already mentioned in the text:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Smith\ says\ blah\ [\-\@smith04].
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+You can also write an in\-text citation, as follows:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\@smith04\ says\ blah.
+
+\@smith04\ [p.\ 33]\ says\ blah.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed at the
+end of the document.
+Normally, you will want to end your document with an appropriate header:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+last\ paragraph...
+
+#\ References
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+The bibliography will be inserted after this header.
+Note that the \f[C]unnumbered\f[] class will be added to this header, so
+that the section will not be numbered.
+.PP
+If you want to include items in the bibliography without actually citing
+them in the body text, you can define a dummy \f[C]nocite\f[] metadata
+field and put the citations there:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\-\-\-
+nocite:\ |
+\ \ \@item1,\ \@item2
+\&...
+
+\@item3
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+In this example, the document will contain a citation for \f[C]item3\f[]
+only, but the bibliography will contain entries for \f[C]item1\f[],
+\f[C]item2\f[], and \f[C]item3\f[].
+.PP
+For LaTeX or PDF output, you can also use NatBib or BibLaTeX to render
+bibliography.
+In order to do so, specify bibliography files as outlined above, and add
+\f[C]\-\-natbib\f[] or \f[C]\-\-biblatex\f[] argument to \f[C]pandoc\f[]
+invocation.
+Bear in mind that bibliography files have to be in respective format
+(either BibTeX or BibLaTeX).
+.SS Non\-pandoc extensions
+.PP
+The following markdown syntax extensions are not enabled by default in
+pandoc, but may be enabled by adding \f[C]+EXTENSION\f[] to the format
+name, where \f[C]EXTENSION\f[] is the name of the extension.
+Thus, for example, \f[C]markdown+hard_line_breaks\f[] is markdown with
+hard line breaks.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]lists_without_preceding_blankline\f[]
+.PP
+Allow a list to occur right after a paragraph, with no intervening blank
+space.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]hard_line_breaks\f[]
+.PP
+Causes all newlines within a paragraph to be interpreted as hard line
+breaks instead of spaces.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]ignore_line_breaks\f[]
+.PP
+Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than being
+treated as spaces or as hard line breaks.
+This option is intended for use with East Asian languages where spaces
+are not used between words, but text is divided into lines for
+readability.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]tex_math_single_backslash\f[]
+.PP
+Causes anything between \f[C]\\(\f[] and \f[C]\\)\f[] to be interpreted
+as inline TeX math, and anything between \f[C]\\[\f[] and \f[C]\\]\f[]
+to be interpreted as display TeX math.
+Note: a drawback of this extension is that it precludes escaping
+\f[C](\f[] and \f[C][\f[].
+.SS Extension: \f[C]tex_math_double_backslash\f[]
+.PP
+Causes anything between \f[C]\\\\(\f[] and \f[C]\\\\)\f[] to be
+interpreted as inline TeX math, and anything between \f[C]\\\\[\f[] and
+\f[C]\\\\]\f[] to be interpreted as display TeX math.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]markdown_attribute\f[]
+.PP
+By default, pandoc interprets material inside block\-level tags as
+markdown.
+This extension changes the behavior so that markdown is only parsed
+inside block\-level tags if the tags have the attribute
+\f[C]markdown=1\f[].
+.SS Extension: \f[C]mmd_title_block\f[]
+.PP
+Enables a MultiMarkdown style title block at the top of the document,
+for example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+Title:\ \ \ My\ title
+Author:\ \ John\ Doe
+Date:\ \ \ \ September\ 1,\ 2008
+Comment:\ This\ is\ a\ sample\ mmd\ title\ block,\ with
+\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a\ field\ spanning\ multiple\ lines.
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+See the MultiMarkdown documentation for details.
+If \f[C]pandoc_title_block\f[] or \f[C]yaml_metadata_block\f[] is
+enabled, it will take precedence over \f[C]mmd_title_block\f[].
+.SS Extension: \f[C]abbreviations\f[]
+.PP
+Parses PHP Markdown Extra abbreviation keys, like
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+*[HTML]:\ Hyper\ Text\ Markup\ Language
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that the pandoc document model does not support abbreviations, so
+if this extension is enabled, abbreviation keys are simply skipped (as
+opposed to being parsed as paragraphs).
+.SS Extension: \f[C]autolink_bare_uris\f[]
+.PP
+Makes all absolute URIs into links, even when not surrounded by pointy
+braces \f[C]<...>\f[].
+.SS Extension: \f[C]ascii_identifiers\f[]
+.PP
+Causes the identifiers produced by \f[C]auto_identifiers\f[] to be pure
+ASCII.
+Accents are stripped off of accented latin letters, and non\-latin
+letters are omitted.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]link_attributes\f[]
+.PP
+Parses multimarkdown style key\-value attributes on link and image
+references.
+Note that pandoc\[aq]s internal document model provides nowhere to put
+these, so they are presently just ignored.
+.SS Extension: \f[C]mmd_header_identifiers\f[]
+.PP
+Parses multimarkdown style header identifiers (in square brackets, after
+the header but before any trailing \f[C]#\f[]s in an ATX header).
+.SS Extension: \f[C]compact_definition_lists\f[]
+.PP
+Activates the definition list syntax of pandoc 1.12.x and earlier.
+This syntax differs from the one described ABOVE in several respects:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+No blank line is required between consecutive items of the definition
+list.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+To get a "tight" or "compact" list, omit space between consecutive
+items; the space between a term and its definition does not affect
+anything.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Lazy wrapping of paragraphs is not allowed: the entire definition must
+be indented four spaces.
+.SS Markdown variants
+.PP
+In addition to pandoc\[aq]s extended markdown, the following markdown
+variants are supported:
+.TP

+.SS Extensions with formats other than markdown
+.PP
+Some of the extensions discussed above can be used with formats other
+than markdown:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[C]auto_identifiers\f[] can be used with \f[C]latex\f[], \f[C]rst\f[],
+\f[C]mediawiki\f[], and \f[C]textile\f[] input (and is used by default).
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[C]tex_math_dollars\f[], \f[C]tex_math_single_backslash\f[], and
+\f[C]tex_math_double_backslash\f[] can be used with \f[C]html\f[] input.
+(This is handy for reading web pages formatted using MathJax, for
+example.)
+.SH PRODUCING SLIDE SHOWS WITH PANDOC
+.PP
+You can use Pandoc to produce an HTML + javascript slide presentation
+that can be viewed via a web browser.
+There are five ways to do this, using S5, DZSlides, Slidy, Slideous, or
+reveal.js.
+You can also produce a PDF slide show using LaTeX beamer.
+.PP
+Here\[aq]s the markdown source for a simple slide show,
+\f[C]habits.txt\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]

+
+##\ Going\ to\ sleep

+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+To produce an HTML/javascript slide show, simply type
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-t\ FORMAT\ \-s\ habits.txt\ \-o\ habits.html
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+where \f[C]FORMAT\f[] is either \f[C]s5\f[], \f[C]slidy\f[],
+\f[C]slideous\f[], \f[C]dzslides\f[], or \f[C]revealjs\f[].
+.PP
+For Slidy, Slideous, reveal.js, and S5, the file produced by pandoc with
+the \f[C]\-s/\-\-standalone\f[] option embeds a link to javascripts and
+CSS files, which are assumed to be available at the relative path
+\f[C]s5/default\f[] (for S5), \f[C]slideous\f[] (for Slideous),
+\f[C]reveal.js\f[] (for reveal.js), or at the Slidy website at
+\f[C]w3.org\f[] (for Slidy).
+(These paths can be changed by setting the \f[C]slidy\-url\f[],
+\f[C]slideous\-url\f[], \f[C]revealjs\-url\f[], or \f[C]s5\-url\f[]
+variables; see \f[C]\-\-variable\f[], above.) For DZSlides, the
+(relatively short) javascript and css are included in the file by
+default.
+.PP
+With all HTML slide formats, the \f[C]\-\-self\-contained\f[] option can
+be used to produce a single file that contains all of the data necessary
+to display the slide show, including linked scripts, stylesheets,
+images, and videos.
+.PP
+To produce a PDF slide show using beamer, type
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-t\ beamer\ habits.txt\ \-o\ habits.pdf
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that a reveal.js slide show can also be converted to a PDF by
+printing it to a file from the browser.
+.SS Structuring the slide show
+.PP
+By default, the \f[I]slide level\f[] is the highest header level in the
+hierarchy that is followed immediately by content, and not another
+header, somewhere in the document.
+In the example above, level 1 headers are always followed by level 2
+headers, which are followed by content, so 2 is the slide level.
+This default can be overridden using the \f[C]\-\-slide\-level\f[]
+option.
+.PP
+The document is carved up into slides according to the following rules:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+A horizontal rule always starts a new slide.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+A header at the slide level always starts a new slide.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Headers \f[I]below\f[] the slide level in the hierarchy create headers
+\f[I]within\f[] a slide.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+Headers \f[I]above\f[] the slide level in the hierarchy create "title
+slides," which just contain the section title and help to break the
+slide show into sections.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+A title page is constructed automatically from the document\[aq]s title
+block, if present.
+(In the case of beamer, this can be disabled by commenting out some
+lines in the default template.)
+.PP
+These rules are designed to support many different styles of slide show.
+If you don\[aq]t care about structuring your slides into sections and
+subsections, you can just use level 1 headers for all each slide.
+(In that case, level 1 will be the slide level.) But you can also
+structure the slide show into sections, as in the example above.
+.PP
+Note: in reveal.js slide shows, if slide level is 2, a two\-dimensional
+layout will be produced, with level 1 headers building horizontally and
+level 2 headers building vertically.
+It is not recommended that you use deeper nesting of section levels with
+reveal.js.
+.SS Incremental lists
+.PP
+By default, these writers produce lists that display "all at once." If
+you want your lists to display incrementally (one item at a time), use
+the \f[C]\-i\f[] option.
+If you want a particular list to depart from the default (that is, to
+display incrementally without the \f[C]\-i\f[] option and all at once
+with the \f[C]\-i\f[] option), put it in a block quote:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+>\ \-\ Eat\ spaghetti
+>\ \-\ Drink\ wine
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+In this way incremental and nonincremental lists can be mixed in a
+single document.
+.SS Inserting pauses
+.PP
+You can add "pauses" within a slide by including a paragraph containing
+three dots, separated by spaces:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ Slide\ with\ a\ pause
+
+content\ before\ the\ pause
+
+\&.\ .\ .
+
+content\ after\ the\ pause
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Styling the slides
+.PP
+You can change the style of HTML slides by putting customized CSS files
+in \f[C]$DATADIR/s5/default\f[] (for S5), \f[C]$DATADIR/slidy\f[] (for
+Slidy), or \f[C]$DATADIR/slideous\f[] (for Slideous), where
+\f[C]$DATADIR\f[] is the user data directory (see
+\f[C]\-\-data\-dir\f[], above).
+The originals may be found in pandoc\[aq]s system data directory
+(generally \f[C]$CABALDIR/pandoc\-VERSION/s5/default\f[]).
+Pandoc will look there for any files it does not find in the user data
+directory.
+.PP
+For dzslides, the CSS is included in the HTML file itself, and may be
+modified there.
+.PP
+For reveal.js, themes can be used by setting the \f[C]theme\f[]
+variable, for example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\-V\ theme=moon
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Or you can specify a custom stylesheet using the \f[C]\-\-css\f[]
+option.
+.PP
+To style beamer slides, you can specify a beamer "theme" or "colortheme"
+using the \f[C]\-V\f[] option:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-t\ beamer\ habits.txt\ \-V\ theme:Warsaw\ \-o\ habits.pdf
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Note that header attributes will turn into slide attributes (on a
+\f[C]<div>\f[] or \f[C]<section>\f[]) in HTML slide formats, allowing
+you to style individual slides.
+In Beamer, the only header attribute that affects slides is the
+\f[C]allowframebreaks\f[] class, which sets the
+\f[C]allowframebreaks\f[] option, causing multiple slides to be created
+if the content overfills the frame.
+This is recommended especially for bibliographies:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ References\ {.allowframebreaks}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SS Speaker notes
+.PP
+reveal.js has good support for speaker notes.
+You can add notes to your markdown document thus:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+<div\ class="notes">
+This\ is\ my\ note.
+
+\-\ It\ can\ contain\ markdown
+\-\ like\ this\ list
+
+</div>
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+To show the notes window, press \f[C]s\f[] while viewing the
+presentation.
+Notes are not yet supported for other slide formats, but the notes will
+not appear on the slides themselves.
+.SS Marking frames "fragile" in beamer
+.PP
+Sometimes it is necessary to add the LaTeX \f[C][fragile]\f[] option to
+a frame in beamer (for example, when using the \f[C]minted\f[]
+environment).
+This can be forced by adding the \f[C]fragile\f[] class to the header
+introducing the slide:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+#\ Fragile\ slide\ {.fragile}
+\f[]
+.fi
+.SH EPUB METADATA
+.PP
+EPUB metadata may be specified using the \f[C]\-\-epub\-metadata\f[]
+option, but if the source document is markdown, it is better to use a
+YAML metadata block.
+Here is an example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+\-\-\-
+title:

+.SH LITERATE HASKELL SUPPORT
+.PP
+If you append \f[C]+lhs\f[] (or \f[C]+literate_haskell\f[]) to an
+appropriate input or output format (\f[C]markdown\f[],
+\f[C]markdown_strict\f[], \f[C]rst\f[], or \f[C]latex\f[] for input or
+output; \f[C]beamer\f[], \f[C]html\f[] or \f[C]html5\f[] for output
+only), pandoc will treat the document as literate Haskell source.
+This means that
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In markdown input, "bird track" sections will be parsed as Haskell code
+rather than block quotations.
+Text between \f[C]\\begin{code}\f[] and \f[C]\\end{code}\f[] will also
+be treated as Haskell code.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In markdown output, code blocks with classes \f[C]haskell\f[] and
+\f[C]literate\f[] will be rendered using bird tracks, and block
+quotations will be indented one space, so they will not be treated as
+Haskell code.
+In addition, headers will be rendered setext\-style (with underlines)
+rather than atx\-style (with \[aq]#\[aq] characters).
+(This is because ghc treats \[aq]#\[aq] characters in column 1 as
+introducing line numbers.)
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In restructured text input, "bird track" sections will be parsed as
+Haskell code.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In restructured text output, code blocks with class \f[C]haskell\f[]
+will be rendered using bird tracks.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In LaTeX input, text in \f[C]code\f[] environments will be parsed as
+Haskell code.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In LaTeX output, code blocks with class \f[C]haskell\f[] will be
+rendered inside \f[C]code\f[] environments.
+.IP \[bu] 2
+In HTML output, code blocks with class \f[C]haskell\f[] will be rendered
+with class \f[C]literatehaskell\f[] and bird tracks.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-f\ markdown+lhs\ \-t\ html
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+reads literate Haskell source formatted with markdown conventions and
+writes ordinary HTML (without bird tracks).
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-f\ markdown+lhs\ \-t\ html+lhs
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+writes HTML with the Haskell code in bird tracks, so it can be copied
+and pasted as literate Haskell source.
+.SH SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING
+.PP
+Pandoc will automatically highlight syntax in fenced code blocks that
+are marked with a language name.
+(See [Extension: \f[C]inline_code_attributes\f[]] and [Extension:
+\f[C]fenced_code_attributes\f[]], above.) The Haskell library
+highlighting\-kate is used for highlighting, which works in HTML, Docx,
+and LaTeX/PDF output.
+The color scheme can be selected using the \f[C]\-\-highlight\-style\f[]
+option.
+The default color scheme is \f[C]pygments\f[], which imitates the
+default color scheme used by the Python library pygments, but pygments
+is not actually used to do the highlighting.
+.PP
+To see a list of language names that pandoc will recognize, type
+\f[C]pandoc\ \-\-version\f[].
+.PP
+To disable highlighting, use the \f[C]\-\-no\-highlight\f[] option.
+.SH CUSTOM WRITERS
+.PP
+Pandoc can be extended with custom writers written in lua.
+(Pandoc includes a lua interpreter, so lua need not be installed
+separately.)
+.PP
+To use a custom writer, simply specify the path to the lua script in
+place of the output format.
+For example:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-t\ data/sample.lua
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Creating a custom writer requires writing a lua function for each
+possible element in a pandoc document.
+To get a documented example which you can modify according to your
+needs, do
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+pandoc\ \-\-print\-default\-data\-file\ sample.lua
+\f[]
