Inline HTML in markdwon to PDF

Hello, I tried searching the archives, however, was not able to find any 
questions on this. If you know of a post where this question was asked 
before I would appreciate if you could share the link so I can review it.

 

Basically my issue is this, I have some inline HTML in my markdown file 
that creates a line, however, when doing a standard conversion with pandoc 
from md to pdf these lines are not generated.

I also tried to convert the md file to an intermediary HTML file then to 
PDF, however, this messed up some formatting.

 

Example MD file:

### Contents


<hr style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #686868; width: 50%; margin-left: 0; 
margin-bottom: 15px" />


### What Is Impacted


<hr style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #686868; width: 50%; margin-left: 0; 
margin-top: 15px" />

 


Expected output:

Current output:

 [image: 2.png]

 

When the PDF file is generated the lines are not present as expected. Do 
you have any recommendations on this or if this is even possible?

Thank you!

Since you are converting to pdf, you could use some inline LaTeX. 
Try the simple \rule command as shown here <https://texfaq.org/FAQ-rule> or 
load a package for more fancy lines, such as xhfill 
<https://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/xhfill/xhfill-doc.pdf>
 or TikZ <https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf>- I am sure there are several others.

There is a native Markdown way to generate a horizontal rule, which also works
with other output formats:

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#horizontal-rules

In HTML, you should be able to use some CSS to style it the way you want.
