Front Matter from md to html

Front Matter from md to html

[Marcus Rohrmoser]

I have pandoc generating the html body for https://mro.name/wiki and 
would like to transfer some front matter to the head.

How would one extract front-matter from md and turn into e.g. <meta 
name="keywords" …>?

Is there a reason you don't use the YAML header for that?

```
---
keywords:
- first
- second
---

Content
```

Then you can add to your template (copied from the default template):

```
$if(keywords)$
  <meta name="keywords" content="$for(keywords)$$keywords$$sep$, $endfor$" />
$endif$
```

It didn't occur to me to patch the template! Uh.

This looks perfectly doable, thanks and solves 75% of my use case.

For more post-processing (updating tag index pages etc.) I can inspect 
the html result.

Thanks!
