Combine multiple files with multiple template variables

Combine multiple files with multiple template variables

Dear Pandoc users,

Is there a way I can write a, say, HTML template file that looks like:

    ... $body1$ ... $body2$ ...

and then have the contents of the two template variables be filled in
by converting the contents of two markdown files

  file1.md 

  file2.md

?

(I can think of hacks to do this such as have the first template "generate" 
the second template, i.e. have a template T1

    ...$body$... $$body$$...

run pandoc once with  T1 and file1.md, then run pandoc a second time with
the output file and file2.md, but was wondering if there was a direct way 
to 
achieve this?)

Thanks in advance!

- Ranjit.

You could always do something like this:

    echo "" | pandoc -V body1="$(pandoc file1.md)" -V body2="($pandoc file2.md) \
      --template=mytemplate.html -s

Alternatively,

     echo "" | pandoc --metadata body1="$(cat file1.md)" --metadata body2="($cat file2.md) --template=mytemplate.html -s
