Subject: Docx to Markdown and Front Matter
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 02:04:31 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <100da112-ed0d-4618-b949-721a3079538bn@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I'm converting docx to markdown, and I need a YAML front matter heading 
just before the markdown. I recently learnt to do this with the 
--stand-alone argument.

However, it is opaque how this exactly works. I only get front matter when 
the first paragraph is styled with the "Title" style (actually the Dutch 
localized "Titel" style). 

Are there other options available to get more meta-data out of the Word 
document? Via Word on macOS via the menu Archive > Properties > Summary, 
there are all kinds of meta data which could be useful as front matter:

- Titel
- Subject
- Author
- Manager
- Company
- Category
- Keywords
- Remarks
- Hyperlink base

Can this be used? Or are there other ways to get meta-data out of Word? 
Or would this need a feature request in pandoc?

Thanks in advance,
Doeke Zanstra
