How do I tell `pandoc.write` to produce a standalone Markdown document (with YAML metadata)? There's no `standalone` option for `pandoc.WriterOptions`. I thought setting a template might work, but it doesn't: the saved file does not contain a YAML block, even though the document has metadata. My attempt is below:
```
function write_markdown_file(doc, filename)
local options = pandoc.WriterOptions{
template = pandoc.template.default('markdown')
}
local data = pandoc.write(doc, 'markdown', options)
local file <close>, error = io.open(filename, 'w')
if file == fail then
io.stderr:write(string.format('Failed to write Markdown file: %s\n', error))
os.exit(1)
end
file:write(data)
end
```
I'm using pandoc 2.19.2.
