Ah, excellent. The additional div makes a big difference in processing.

I realized I over-simplified my example. It's actually:

\begin{algorithm}
	\caption{...}
	\label{alg:my_alg}
	\begin{algorithmic}
	...statements...
	\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

"algorithm" is just a float like "figure" or "table", and "algorithmic" actually defines the commands "\Require", etc. pandoc now makes divs for both algorithm and algorithmic, but still loses the commands, as you've mentioned.

I've just been using a bash/sed script to pre-process the latex document before processing with pandoc which seems to work well for now.

Thanks for the update!
