Can I give the first paragraph an indent when converting markdown to MS with pandoc?












0















So basically I have something like



## heading

paragraph one blah blah blah

paragraph two blah blah blah


And I'm using pandoc to convert it, with the command pandoc -f markdown -t ms file.md. However, looking at the output, it produces something like



.SH 2
heading
.LP
paragraph one blah blah blah
.PP
paragraph two blah blah blah


Reading some docs, I learned that .PP begins a paragraph with an indent, and .LP begins one without. Is there a way I can make all paragraphs use .PP instead of .LP?
