If you delimit the LaTeX commands you can put Markdown between them:

`\begin{center}`{=latex}Markdown *here*`\end{center}`{=latex}

or more realistically with raw blocks:

```{=latex}
\begin{center}
```

Some *Markdown* text goes here!

```{=latex}
\end{center}
```

Or you can use the attached filter (instructions inside!) and just type

:::center
Some *centered* text here
:::

which will allow your source to work for both HTML and LaTeX output.

Hi gnpan,

Thanks! Your solution works, but I cannot put text formatted with Markdown between the \begin{center} ... \end{center} LaTeX tags.
It seems like Pandoc understands the HTML (e.g. <h1> ... </h1>), but just refuses to acknowledge any alignment options specified.

Since you are converting to pdf, you could try some LaTeX, e.g.:
\begin{center}{Your text here}\end{center}

Hello!

I'm trying to center some text in my markdown document. I've tried:
```
<p align="center"> Sample Text </p>
<center> Sample Text </p>
```
And used `pandoc test.md -o test.pdf` to compile my document. However, the text shows up as left-aligned and not centered.

How may I resolve this issue?

Thank you.
