It shows the basic compilation command: pandoc -t beamer my_source.md -o my_beamer.pdf
The post explains how slide separation rules work.
There is the --slide-level option. I often use --slide-level 2 so that level 1 headings (i.e., # ...) are section headers and level 2 headings (i.e., ##) are slide titles.
You can have incremental lists by pre-pending dot points with the greater than symbol
Beamer Themes can be used via the -V option e.g., (-V theme:Warsaw)
It shows how the first few lines of the file pre-pended by % are incorporated into the title slide
Image size and placement can be controlled in detail with latex e.g., \centerline{\includegraphics[height=2in]{my_image.pdf}}
you can use bibtex for citations
He also mentions a number of other options for compiling the document involving templates regular expressions and so on. With regards to templates, the -V option might be simpler in some cases, but perhaps you can get more control with --template. I also haven't felt the need yet for the post processing, but I guess we'll see.
