It is a layer on top of Pandoc with useful extensions for 
creating books. Pandoc allows you to add arbitrary LaTeX code to 
the document, so AFAIK, you should be able to do anything you can 
do with LaTeX. Most of that would be handled with modifications 
to the .latex template or with a yaml section at the top of the 
document.
