pandoc html docx css,html - Inline CSS with Pandoc - Stack Overflow

I apologize if a simple way to this programmatically (not by copying/pasting in a browser field and clicking a button to convert) is documented somewhere. In my searches and reading I cannot find it.

I would like to programmatically turn a Markdown and CSS file into what sounds like may be called "inline" CSS.For example:

h1 {

font-size: 100px;

h2 {

}

Becomes this (file.html)

Install

pandoc -f markdown -t html file.md -o file.html --css=style.css --self-contained

(or --standalone)

It returns

file

code{white-space: pre-wrap;}

span.smallcaps{font-variant: small-caps;}

span.underline{text-decoration: underline;}

div.column{display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; width: 50%;}

I do not care if the
