VERY BASIC QUESTION: will not convert to html

http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/getting-started.html

I am following the guide to the letter, but when I try to create an html 
file:

Hello *pandoc*!

- one
- two

When you’re finished, type Ctrl-D on OS X or Linux, or Ctrl-Z on Windows. 
You should now see your text converted to HTML!


I get stuck. I have tried hitting Ctrl-Z and typing it and nothing happens. 
I have to close the program to get the interface to respond at all. 


What am I doing wrong? 


I am sorry this is such  a basic question.

You're doing this within pandoc running at the command-line, right?

This is what I get in my terminal:

~~~
ivan@Sniper tmp $pandoc
Hello *pandoc*!

- one
- two
<p>Hello <em>pandoc</em>!</p>
<ul>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
</ul>
~~~

Thanks so much for replying.

I am using Windows Powershell in Windows 7.

By the way, I've verified pandoc is properly installed.

What do you mean, close the program?  What do you do to close the
program?

After writing "two", press Enter, then Ctrl-Z, then Enter.
i.e. the Ctrl-Z should be on its own line, and should be followed by Enter.

Also, you can do this also in the Command Line (cmd), as well as Power 
Shell.

Thank you so much! I was pressing Ctrl-Z and then not pressing Enter. 

I am completely new at this... so thanks again!

Hi,

Note that using Pandoc in that way (running the `pandoc` command with no
arguments, typing in some text, and then hitting a control key to get it to
take that input and produce output, interactively) is a rather unusual way
to use Pandoc, IMO. I've been using pandoc for a while and have never done
that.

More typical is to create a text file (using whatever plain text editor you
like), and then run the pandoc command on it, from within your terminal,
for example:

    pandoc -s -S -c styles.css -o foo.html foo.txt

(where, here, you'd create your own styles.css file, and it would be
present in the same directory as the other files).
