## Raw LaTeX

When creating a PDF document, Pandoc allows the use of [raw LaTeX](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-raw_tex) directives intermixed with markdown. For example:
When creating a PDF document, Pandoc allows the use of [raw LaTeX](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-raw_tex) directives intermixed with markdown.
Although Pandoc allows LaTeX to appear unescaped in Markdown, we instead recommend to wrap the content in a raw block. For example:

``` tex
```` markdown
```{=latex}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}\hline
Age & Frequency \\ \hline
18--25 & 15 \\
26--35 & 33 \\
36--45 & 22 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
```
````

Raw LaTeX can be specified as a block element (as shown above), or as an inline element, such as `` `\textrm{hello}`{=latex} ``.
Raw LaTeX commands will be preserved and passed unchanged to the LaTeX writer.
