Why in RST input does a field list right after the document not appear in ms, latex, or context output?

Why in RST input does a field list right after the document not appear in ms, latex, or context output?

I have a document:

Document Title
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

:version: 2020-04-22

This is the first paragraph of the document.


When I run this through pandoc to produce HTML, the field list shows up in
the output as expected.  But when I run it through pandoc with the -s
option to produce ms, latex, or context output, the field list *does not
show up* at all.  In fact, looking at the generated ms, LaTeX, or ConTeXt
reveals that the field list isn't in the generated file at all.

Oddly enough, if I don't use the -s option, it *does* show up in the
generated file for ms, latex, and context.

[John MacFarlane]

This is RST metadata. So with the -s option it's parsed as
metadata not content.

Oh, that makes sense.    Looking at the bibliographic fields section
<https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#bibliographic-fields>
in the reStructuredText Markup Specification
<https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html> makes
it more clearn.

Thanks for the explanation.
