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,
