Does Unity LWRP support surface shaders?

I'm using new Unity's Lightweight rendering pipeline.
After creating a material with a new surface shader, created from the drop-down menu, all I see is a pink color.
There is no information at all about creating shaders for LWRP. It looks like unlit shaders are supported without issues, but what about surface shaders?

It doesn't seem like. Note from doc "Note: Built-in and custom Lit Shaders do not work with the Lightweight Render Pipeline. Instead, LWRP has a new set of standard shaders . If you upgrade a current Project to LWRP, you can upgrade built-in shaders to the new ones." - Programmer
@Programmer I would expect it to be mentioned explicitly, with some examples of how to migrate surface shaders to LWRP. - Taras Kohut
It's still new and can change anytime. I am sure they will add more information about that when it's mature enough. - Programmer

According to Feature Comparison Table, Surface Shaders are not supported in LWRP.

I didn't find examples of surface shaders migration.
