title: XML to Markdown format conversion
body: <p>I need to convert an XML format file to Markdown via Pandoc or otherwise if possible.
  Following some recommendations, I have tried to convert it to the LaTeX format first and then to Markdown. All I have got in the Markdown file after conversion is just --------- (dashes).</p>
  
  <p>The original content of the XML document to be converted is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;config&gt;
  &lt;!--defining variable--&gt;
  &lt;var-def name="http_response"&gt;
  &lt;!--passing the appropriate value from url_to_check column in input data file as a parameter for http plugin--&gt;
  &lt;http url = "${url_to_check}"&gt;&lt;/http&gt;
  &lt;/var-def&gt;
  &lt;!--exporting all original input columns--&gt;
  &lt;export include-original-data="true"&gt;
  &lt;!--adding a new column with the http plugin result to the export file--&gt;
  &lt;single-column name="http" value= "${http_response }"/&gt;
  &lt;/export&gt;
  &lt;/config&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do you have any ideas how to do it? Thank you for your help in advance.</p>
