An h1 header

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, monospace. Itemized lists look like:

this one
that one
the other one

Note that — not considering the asterisk — the actual text content starts at 4-columns in.

Block quotes are written like so.

They can span multiple paragraphs, if you like.

Use 3 dashes for an em-dash. Use 2 dashes for ranges (ex. “it’s all in chapters 12–14”). Three dots … will be converted to an ellipsis.

以及中文

為什麼我不能在你的生前，日子雖短，流，竟可說是你有天賦的憑證，竟可說是你有天賦的憑證，所以只有你單身奔赴大自然的懷抱時，因為道旁樹木的陰影在他們紆徐的婆娑裡暗示你舞蹈的快樂；你也會得信口的歌唱，我敢說，過來坐在我的身邊，我也不易使他懂我的話，你回到了天父的懷抱，竟許有人同情。

An h2 header

Here’s a numbered list:

first item
second item
third item

Note again how the actual text starts at 4 columns in (4 characters from the left side). Here’s a code sample:

# Let me re-iterate ...
    for i in 1 .. 10 { do-something(i) }

As you probably guessed, indented 4 spaces. By the way, instead of indenting the block, you can use delimited blocks, if you like:

define foobar() {
        print "Welcome to flavor country!";
    }

(which makes copying & pasting easier). You can optionally mark the delimited block for Pandoc to syntax highlight it:

import time
    # Quick, count to ten!
    for i in range(10):
        # (but not *too* quick)
        time.sleep(0.5)
        print i

An h3 header

Now a nested list:

First, get these ingredients:
- carrots
- celery
- lentils
Boil some water.

Dump everything in the pot and follow this algorithm:

find wooden spoon
    uncover pot
    stir
    cover pot
    balance wooden spoon precariously on pot handle
    wait 10 minutes
    goto first step (or shut off burner when done)

Do not bump wooden spoon or it will fall.

Notice again how text always lines up on 4-space indents (including that last line which continues item 3 above). Here’s a link to a website. Here’s a link to a local doc. Here’s a footnote ¹.

Tables can look like this:

Shoes, their sizes, and what they’re made of
size	material	color
9	leather	brown
10	hemp canvas	natural
11	glass	transparent

(The above is the caption for the table.) Here’s a definition list:

apples: Good for making applesauce.
oranges: Citrus!
tomatoes: There’s no “e” in tomatoe.

Again, text is indented 4 spaces. (Alternately, put blank lines in between each of the above definition list lines to spread things out more.)

Inline math equations go in like so: $\omega = d\phi / dt$ . Display math should get its own line and be put in in double-dollarsigns:

I = \int ρ R 2 d V

$I = \int \rho R^{2} dV$

Done.

Pandoc also allows you to do a few more things, for example, use multi-line table rows. You can read more about that in the Pandoc Manual.
