Define pandoc md to tex conversion rules?

Is it possible to define how headings are converted from Markdown to LaTeX?

I would like to convert

# Heading 1

to

\chapter{Heading 1}

and

## Heading 2

to 

\section{Heading 2}

and so on.

Solution

  • There is an option now: 

    pandoc --base-header-level=2

    Old answer:

    I think you'll have to write a pandoc filter that increments the heading integer by one, something along the lines of:

    #!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
import Text.Pandoc.JSON

main :: IO ()
main = toJSONFilter inchead
  where inchead (Header n attr xs) = Header (n+1) attr xs
        inchead x = x
