I’m trying to write a book in pandoc markdown, but I’m having an issue with --section-divs to enclose each matter in a definite block with its own id.

Suppose a markdown document like this




If used with --section-divs, the section opened by the previous heading won’t close until the next heading. Resulting in something like (assuming -t html5)




Is there a way to tell pandoc to close all pending <section> before another header?
Or for pandoc to recognize <header>, <main>, <article>, <footer> as containers so it closes the sections when finding </header>, </main>, </article>, </footer>? (before those closing tags, of course).
