How to make Pandoc parse headings not preceded by empty lines?

How to make Pandoc parse headings not preceded by empty lines?

Let's take such a Markdown file

    Text
    text
    some text
    ## Heading

    Blah blah

Github will be able to parse properly, for example:

But let's try Pandoc:

    $ pandoc -s test.md -f markdown -t markdown
    Text text some text \## Heading

    Blah blah

Notice the escaped first "#" symbol in the heading.

I wonder if there is a way to avoid it?

Github Markdown and Pandoc Markdown have different syntaxes. If you want to use the former, do:

pandoc -s test.md -f gfm

If you're targeting gfm, then use `-f gfm` instead of `-f markdown`. There are some slight differences in syntax. Pandoc markdown requires a blank line before a heading, to avoid unwanted capture of ordinary # characters.
