The plot thickens... I want to be able to make just one md into a pdf, and 
but also merge a bunch (two different scripts), but I'm having a problem 
with the TOC. TOC.md looks like this:
```
---
title: Wicked Awesome Title Here
subtitle: A catchy subtitle...
author: Me
email: 
date: 
---
```
I can call it with pandoc --toc TOC.md file1.md -o file.html

This is fine if I want one big merged file, but if I want to just make a 
single one, then I have to have another TOC file (TOC-file1.md, for 
example).
Yesterday I discovered that if I knocked the subtitle line out and just put 
that in file1.md:

```
subtitle: A catchy subtitle...
```

I could call the same table of contents whether I was making one single 
section file, or one big merged one.
Today I found out that it doesn't work when I'm doing multiple files.

But wait... While I was typing this, it appears that as long as all of the 
individual files have a heading that is seven lines long and includes the 
subtitle, I can either make a single small file or a large merged one. Is 
the expected behavior?  The header for doing this needs to be seven lines 
long to work right?
