How do I tell `pandoc.write` to produce a standalone Markdown document
(with YAML metadata)? There's no `standalone` option for
`pandoc.WriterOptions`. I thought setting a template might work, but it
doesn't: the saved file does not contain a YAML block, even though the
document has metadata. My attempt is below:
```
function write_markdown_file(doc, filename)
local options = pandoc.WriterOptions{
template = pandoc.template.default('markdown')
}
local data = pandoc.write(doc, 'markdown', options)
local file <close>, error = io.open(filename, 'w')
if file == fail then
io.stderr:write(string.format('Failed to write Markdown file: %s\n',
error))
os.exit(1)
end
file:write(data)
end
```
I'm using pandoc 2.19.2.

The template needs to be compile for it to become usable:
local options = pandoc.WriterOptions{
template = pandoc.template.compile(
pandoc.template.default('markdown')
)
}
Pandoc's current behavior is a bit strange though. You can raise a bug
for that if you'd like.

Thank you for pointing out the problem with my code. I filed this bug, since I think an error should have been thrown for the invalid `template` value: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8321
