Re: How to make Pandoc parse headings not preceded by empty lines?

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

If you're targeting gfm, then use `-f gfm` instead of `-f markdown`. There are some slight differences in syntax. Pandoc markdown requires a blank line before a heading, to avoid unwanted capture of ordinary # characters.
