html tag and atx-style header

[octoploid]

<a name="main"></a>
# C++ Core Guidelines

is currently converted to (e.g. latex):

\# C++ Core Guidelines

When I add a newline between the html tag and the atx-style header I get the desired result:

<a name="main"></a>

# C++ Core Guidelines

to

\section{C++ Core Guidelines}\label{c-core-guidelines}

Is this intended?

Yes, it's intended. From the manual:

Extension: blank_before_header

Standard markdown syntax does not require a blank line
before a header. Pandoc does require this (except, of
course, at the beginning of the document). The reason for
the requirement is that it is all too easy for a # to end up
at the beginning of a line by accident (perhaps through line
wrapping). Consider, for example:

I like several of their flavors of ice cream:
#22, for example, and #5.

You can turn this off: pandoc -f markdown-blank_before_header
