You can always use raw tex for these things. https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-raw_tex Or, you can use a filter which is maybe too much for this case. Von: pandoc-discuss-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org Im Auftrag von Ashok Koyi Gesendet: Montag, 27. September 2021 17:07 An: pandoc-discuss Betreff: Pandoc convention to follow to write frontmatter, body & backmatter of a book in markdown I am writing a book in markdown & use pandoc to convert the book to pdf (pandoc internally uses pdflatex/xelatex/lualatex) & epub Is there a way to specify in the markdown document that a given section (# Preface/# Dedication) belongs to frontmatter & # Appendix belongs to the backmatter? Please note that I want to write frontmatter, backmatter & mainbody all in markdown PS: In the documentation, I see an option for epub, but not for pdf (I have already posted this question in tex stackexchage forum) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
