' | pandoc -t html5 | htmlmin -s To answer your question: We write markdown by hand, which contains code blocks full of custom elements (for highlighting). Our custom format is bold within the codeblock. Using a pandoc filter, those custom blocks get turned into this HTML: 
bold
We then use http://www.princexml.com/ to convert from HTML to a PDF. Thanks! On Friday, April 8, 2016 at 10:35:10 AM UTC-6, Matthew Pickering wrote: > > Can you please describe what you are doing?

I've found a solution that I like (and doesn't inv= olve complicating pandoc).

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 pip install htm= lmin
=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0echo -e '<div><pre><co= de>hello</code></pre><pre><code>world</code&g= t;</pre></div>' | pandoc -t html5 | htmlmin -s
To answer your question:

We write mar= kdown by hand, which contains code blocks full of custom elements (for high= lighting). =C2=A0Our custom format is <r:b>bold</r:b> within th= e codeblock. =C2=A0Using a pandoc filter, those custom blocks get turned in= to this HTML:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 <pre class=3D"= bold"><code>bold</code></pre>

We then use=C2=A0http://www.princexml.com/ to convert from HTML to a = PDF.

Thanks!

The answer to your question is that pre is a block level element and
pandoc inserts newlines after each block from what I remember.
