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 `) 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). >> >> On Monday, May 15, 2023 at 3:18:49 AM UTC+2 H wrote: >> >> On May 14, 2023 4:04:35 PM EDT, ThomasH wrote: >> >Creating document fragments is the default for HTML in Pandoc, you'd >> >have >> >to use the `--standalone` option to force it to create complete >> >documents >> >with header and footer.

My markdown files use H1-4 for structuring and then text in paragraphs with strong or emphasis added as needed.

tags added to meet the needed output format. - I need to have a style added to each HTML tag. These do not vary and could be predefined by me. - The output needs to be indented one level for each
level. Can I modify the pandoc processor to accomplish the above? Input: On another note, I would much prefer if I would not need to add an empty line between paragraphs in the markdown document to get the output processor to add

tags appropriately. A line break should suffice for pandoc to realize it's a new paragraph. Is this fixable by me?
