Ah, I think that horizontal rules are getting interpreted as YAML metadata block delimiters.

I tried changing all "---" to "- - -" (https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#horizontal-rules) and everything is now fine.

Perhaps there are some heuristics that control whether pandoc decides that a given block is YAML. Maybe lines like this one are being taken to be YAML?

`_ACTION: "vs2005"`

I don't know whether there's a way around this without editing the input file.

probably a syntax error in a YAML metadata block. can you provide the input (or at least the first part of it)?
