I am converting from Markdown to HTML like so:
pandoc --columns=70 --mathjax -f markdown input.pdc -t html -Ss > out.html
Everything works fine, except for the fact that the text doesn't get wrapped. I tried different columns lengths, no effect. Removed options, no go. Whatever I tried, the HTML just doesn't get wrapped. I search the bug tracker, but there don't seem to be any open bugs relating to this issue. I also checked the documentation, but as far as I could glean, the text ought be line-wrapped... So, have I stumbled into a bug?
I'm using pandoc version 1.12.4.2.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Pandoc puts newlines in the HTML so the source code is easier to read. By default, it doesn't insert <br>-tags.
If you want to preserve line breaks from markdown input:
pandoc -f markdown+hard_line_breaks input.md output.html
However, usually a better approach to limit the text width when opening the HTML file in the browser is to adapt the HTML template (pandoc -D html5) and add some CSS, like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html$if(lang)$ lang="$lang$"$endif$>
<head>
<style>
body {
width: 46em;
}
</style>
