Are metadata fields only for markdown?

Are metadata fields only for markdown?

Hi,

I'm currently trying to use mediawiki markup, but it seems that metadata 
are not taken in account.

The following code produce paragraphs with the content of the metadata 
fields.

% TEST
% The author

= Begin =

So I have multiples questions:

* Is it possible to know which readers can understand metadata fields ?

I didn't find in the documentation.

* Can you make a full list of all metadata fields ?

Regards,
David.

Metadata is an extension to *Markdown*.  Pandoc only reads it from Markdown 
files.  (Imposing an arbitrary extension on multiple markup systems would 
have poor results, and Pandoc only actually *extends* Markdown, it just 
reads 'base' versions of the other markup formats.)

If you are using the 'title block' style, only three are mentioned: Title, 
Author(s), Date.

YAML metadata blocks can have arbitrary fields, but they won't do anything 
unless you use custom templates.  (Well, 'title', 'author' and date will, 
but anything else you'll have to handle yourself.)

Note also that you can specify metadata on the command line, even
for mediawiki sources:  see the --meta/-M option.
