Yes, everything is translated into Pandoc's internal format which is mostly feature equivalent with Pandoc's Markdown. Attributes are only supported on code, codeblocks, divs, spans links and images. The only practical difference I'm aware of is that you need to use child selectors in CSS.

Thanks --- the div trick works fine as a workaround; I hadn't thought of that. Odd that the style is retained for a div and not for a paragraph, though. I wonder if there's a layer translating via something semantically equivalent to markdown.

Pandoc conversions can, in general, lose information.
See the beginning of the manual.

If you have a class on a div rather than a p, it should
carry through. So if you can modify the source document
accordingly, it may work.
