I'm trying to document ALL of a piece of software's uses/features/etc. I 
was wondering if there's a way to do each one individually, then merge them 
in the end. I was hoping to just do one big doc, but really want section 
title pages. I am running:

pandoc -s --template="templates/default.html" -f markdown-smart --toc -c 
./style-landscape.css "$n.md" -o "./$n.html"
python3 -m weasyprint "./$n.html" "./$n.pdf"

on the individual markdown files, but then the page numbers don't match up 
when I join them all together in the end. I'm not sure where to start 
looking, so that H1 still behaves the way it does, but so that H2 also 
creates kind of a title page, and the other headings get bumped down a peg 
(so H3 acts like H2 does now, etc.)

I'm also not exactly crystal clear about how much of this is pandoc and how 
much is Weasyprint...

You can just put all of the markdown files (in order) on the command line, and pandoc will concatenate them before converting.

pandoc --toc part1.md part2.md part3.md -t html --pdf-engine=weasyprint -o wholething.pdf

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?

You can have multiple metadata sections in the same pandoc markdown document, so if you just repeat the metadata, it will still work in the “combined” form.
Nothing is sensitive to being seven lines long — you must be mistaken there, or it’s something else.
