7.4 Raw HTML/TeX

The following extensions are described in more detail in their respective sections of Pandoc’s Markdown:

• raw_html allows HTML elements which are not representable in pandoc’s AST to be parsed as raw HTML. By default, this is disabled for HTML input.

• raw_tex allows raw LaTeX, TeX, and ConTeXt to be included in a document. This extension can be enabled/disabled for the following formats (in addition to markdown):

  input formats

  latex, textile, html (environments, \ref, and \eqref only), ipynb

  output formats

  textile, commonmark

  Note: as applied to ipynb, raw_html and raw_tex affect not only raw TeX in markdown cells, but data with mime type text/html in output cells. Since the ipynb reader attempts to preserve the richest possible outputs when several options are given, you will get best results if you disable raw_html and raw_tex when converting to formats like docx which don’t allow raw html or tex.

• native_divs causes HTML div elements to be parsed as native pandoc Div blocks. If you want them to be parsed as raw HTML, use -f html-native_divs+raw_html.

• native_spans causes HTML span elements to be parsed as native pandoc Span inlines. If you want them to be parsed as raw HTML, use -f html-native_spans+raw_html. If you want to drop all divs and spans when converting HTML to Markdown, you can use pandoc -f html-native_divs-native_spans -t markdown.
