Thanks everyone for your help, the post by Albert about the changes to Lua 
and the splendid code of course solved the problem, well nearly...

In the YAML Frontmatter we have a description:

description: | Some long, perhaps multi-line description.

Sadly this *does not* appear in the epub (2) metadata when we build it, it 
used to work. This does seem like some sort of bug? Because if we use 
commas to surround the description text or use  '>-' as suggested by 
Albert, the description *does* appear in the epub metadata. However, we 
have a lot of markdown which use the '|' formatting for multi-line so I'd 
rather not have to change this is I don't have to.

Does anybody have any ideas?
