Documentation of \newcommand shows replaced value, not example

[JensErat]

In the documentation on \newcommand, the example is executed and replaced by the macro's value instead of printed:

\newcommand{\tuple}[1]{\langle #1 \rangle}
$\tuple{a, b, c}$

Displayed is: ${a, b, c}$.

It seems, the author expected \newcommand not to work within code sections, but it actually does.

You may want to freshen http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html after the fix.

I'll regenerate when we have the next release. Doing it now would
bring some option documentation out of sync with the released version.

Yes - I just refreshed it.
