Markdown to LaTeX: Level 6 Heading

[cab-1729]

As far as I understand Markdown defines headings upto 6 levels, to correspond to h1-h6 in HTML.

When Pandoc is converting a level 5 heading it is converted to \subparagraph{}, while a level 6 heading is just converted to plain text.

I think it would be better to have a level 6 heading wrapped in a \subsubparagraph{} macro, while having something like \newcommand\subsubparagraph[1]{#1} in default.latex. That way it would preserve the previous behavior, while also making it possible to write templates that modify the behavior of level 6 headings. This would help people like me who are writing templates for converting markdown to pdf.

I don't know haskell yet, so I can't really submit a pull request.

Hi I would like to work on this issue, is it possible for you to assign this to me ?

Sure. I'm not completely sure about this one, since \subsubparagraph isn't standard LaTeX, but it gets requested often enough. I think it might be a good idea to put the relevant code under a conditional in the template, and only include it if the document actually has level-6 headings (we do something similar with math, see stMath in WriterState).
