Tell pandoc to respect rst in markdown files while transforming to rst

Tell pandoc to respect rst in markdown files while transforming to rst

I have a markdown file that I want to convert to RST.
The clue is, that this *markdown* file already contains valid RST (i.e. 
nested directives), i.e.

.. note::

   .. include:: /path/to/file

   Some static text also with RST-valid indention 

How to tell pandoc while transforming the RST-enriched markdown to RST to 
keep this indention? It seems pandoc removes (left trim) without mercy. Is 
there a toggle or plugin I missed? Or could I add some magic-markup in the 
source markdown?

Kind regards
BJ

Well, that's very easy, if you're using pandoc's markdown
extensions. Just use a "raw attribute":

```{=rst}
.. note::

   .. include:: /path/to/file

   Some static text also with RST-valid indention 
```

This will be passed verbatim to RST output and ignored for other
formats.

Sorry for contacting you personally. I answered via my email client before. 
I hope I did it correct now.

Yes you are right, thanks. This kind of conversion works.

If using Github flavoured markdown as source format, it will look 
differently... I will do some more investigation on my side, to find out, 
which better fits my needs.

Thanks so far!

If you're using the most recent version of pandoc, you should be
able to do

pandoc -f gfm+raw_attribute

and get support for the raw attribute syntax.
