[Tex/LaTex] Pandoc / Latex / Markdown

mswordpandoc

For a project, I would like to use .md files and convert them to a .docx file. I would also like to include some \latex\ commands within the .md files. I just do not want to mess up the system that I am currently using because it works well. Which is contradictory, but hopefully it can be done.

Here is my pandoc setup:

pandoc --reference-doc=pandoc/reference.docx frontmatter1.md fm2.md fm3.md fm4.md f5.md ch1.md ch2.md ch3.md bib.md endmatter.md em.md -o article.docx

I know latex makes much more sense for what I am trying to do above, but working with .docx is a painstaking process. The reference.docx solution works well for me. I just highlight the sections and select the style.

Finally, my question. Can I insert \latex\ commands such as \newpage at the end of my .md files? So far, I have been unsuccessful.

Here is an example of a .md file I would like to get working with latex / pandoc / word:

# heading
Some text here.
## subheading
More text here.

\newpage
