Hello,

Ligatures like \ae are specific to the LaTeX (and thus PDF) writer, so they 
don't work in any other formats. Pandoc just passes it through unchanged. 
For HTML output, you can use an entity: `Æ` or `æ`, for upper 
case or lower case. Another option is to use the unicode character directly 
(how you do this depends on your system and text editor; in Windows hold 
Alt and type 0230 on the number pad; in vim type CTRL-K a e; use a 
character-map app, etc.) This should work for most output formats. It'll 
work with LaTeX if you use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, as those allow unicode 
input.
