That sounds very promising. My markdown files use H1-4 for structuring and then text in paragraphs with strong or emphasis added as needed. I want to use this information when adding the HTML tags, together with style information for each tag that is predefined.

I hope that Pandoc when encountering eg H2 in the markdown document would add the HTML tag and the predefined style information and the indent as I want it. No empty lines in the entire document but clear readable output.

Would you have a specific suggestion where in the Pandoc documentation I start reading?
