I suggest starting with the Getting Started document 
(https://pandoc.org/getting-started.html). As you still seem to be 
evaluating Pandoc as a tool, you might want to try it by running one of 
your typical markdown files through Pandoc (with `pandoc --from markdown 
--to html <filename>`) and look at the output. If that still looks 
promising, a good place for further study is the Pandoc User Guide 
(https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html).
