Re: Large Document

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

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.

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?

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.)
