Re: Unable to convert markdown to latex while it's in latex blocks

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

One workaround is to use commands rather than an environment
(since pandoc will parse the whole environment as raw tex).

\epigraph{
\centering
with *italics*
}{author}
