Text formatting

Plain text, bold, italic, emphasised (with nested emphasis), monospace, small caps, underlined, and struck through.

Text super^script and sub_script; H₂O and E = mc² (textual).

Here is red, green and blue text.

Special characters: & % $ # _ { } \. Dashes: hyphen-, en–dash, em—dash, ellipsis… Quotes: “double” and ‘single’; “csquotes nested ‘quote’”. Accents & ligatures: naïve, café, Erdős, ß, æ, fi/fl, nonbreaking space, 2026-06-28.

Quotations and footnotes

A short block quotation. Pandoc maps this to a Markdown blockquote.

A multi-paragraph quotation environment, which indents the first line of each paragraph.

Second paragraph of the quotation.

Line one of a verse
line two of a verse.

A sentence with a footnote.¹ Another one.²

Mathematics

Inline math: the area of a circle is A = πr², and x ∈ ℝ.

$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x = \sqrt{\pi}.$$

e^iπ + 1 = 0.

$$\begin{align} (a+b)^2 &= a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \label{eq:binom}\\ &= a^2 + b^2 + 2ab . \end{align}$$

$$f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 & \text{if } x \ge 0,\\ -x & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}$$

$$M = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix},\qquad \mathop{\mathrm{Tr}}M = 5, \qquad \left\lVert v \right\rVert = \sqrt{\textstyle\sum_i v_i^2}.$$

Theorems and proofs

Definition 1. A function f : ℝ → ℝ is continuous at a if lim_x → af(x) = f(a).

Theorem 1 (Pythagoras). In a right triangle, a² + b² = c².

Lemma 2. Every convergent sequence is bounded.

Proof. Standard; omitted here as a placeholder. ◻

Remark 1. Theorem environments convert unevenly across pandoc targets—worth checking.
