How to inject YAML-style metadata

How to inject YAML-style metadata

[Oliver Baumann]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 908 bytes --]

I write my Markdown files with a YAML header consisting only of metadata 
fields relating to the *content*, like title, author, etc.

In another file format.yaml I have the YAML metadata applying to the 
*formatting*, like documentclass, font- or papersize.

How can I inject format.yaml into pandoc, so that it is used when I convert 
my source to LaTeX? I'm looking for something like --include-in-header, but 
for YAML and injected before the template is set-up.

Many thanks for any pointers!

If you're on macOS or Linux you can use the shell to concatenate the files 
before feeding them to pandoc:

    pandoc -t latex format.yaml input.md

Alternatively, you can use:

    pandoc --metadata-file format.yaml -t latex input.md
