Trouble with Handouts Markdown...

I've been looking at the markdown script presented HERE  (amazing tool!!). For the life of me I can't find or figure out how (for example) to put text into a sidebar when there's a sidebar style in the css. How is that invoked in markdown? I accidentally discovered how to do it with images - something like  if thumbstyle has been defined. I have no previous experience with markdown :/  Any help would be appreciated.

It depends on how the sidebar css is declared. The style I posted in that thread uses blockquotes, which are designated like this: This is the main text > This is a block quote > Each paragraph of the the block quote begins with the > sign and a space. This is the resumed normal text.

Thanks, Keith. I'm using a modified version of your css from about six months ago.  I see how headers, blockquotes, and the standard things are called, but how would I use the sidebar or left20 styles (for example) for text?
