I asked this question on
StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32492145/how-can-i-specify-pandocs-markdown-extensions-using-a-yaml-block
Someone answered <http://stackoverflow.com/a/32492257/180626> with a way to
specify those options using RMarkdown
it: http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/pdf_document_format.html#markdown-extensions
But, I couldn't find that particular technique documented anywhere on the
current Pandoc User's Guide <http://pandoc.org/README.html>, so:
1. Is the above solution an officially-supported way to specify markdown
extensions in a YAML block?
2. If so, why did I have such a hard time finding it in the Pandoc
User's Guide? Did I miss it?
3. If it's not currently in the Pandoc User's guide, should it be? (My
opinion is yes, but I don't know that I'm representative of a common use
case.)
4. If this mechanism should be documented in the Pandoc User's Guide, is
there a way I can help?

It's not entirely clear, but yes, you can store variables in YAML
metadata. The closest to an explanation/example I could find in the
User's Guide is here;
http://pandoc.org/README.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block
For example, I tweak the settings I use with reveal.js at the bottom
of my markdown file here (note that I used a slightly tweaked
template): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivan-m/CanFP-Parsing/master/Slides.md

No, YAML blocks only affect metadata. They don't affect
the input format, which currently must be specified on the
command line.
