ignore yaml block when converting to LateX

ignore yaml block when converting to LateX

If I have a yaml block at the top of my markdown file

---
author: Will Shakespeare
play: Hamlet
---

And try to convert from .md to .pdf, I get a warning that the values in the 
yaml block can't be parsed etc, and I think the cure for that is to add 

--from markdown-yaml_metadata_block (from markdown minus the yaml metadata

to my command string

However when I do that, Pandoc refuses to convert and gives me a warning 
about a Longtable, which I guess is what it now thinks the YAML block is?

Thanks for any help.

You don't want this; it turns off pandoc's ability to
*recognize* YAML blocks.

Can you give a specific example that produces the warning?
You might just need to follow YAML escaping rules.  (E.g.
if you have a colon in the title.)

BAD:

title:  Hamlet: Or, the Prince of Denmark

GOOD:

title:  'Hamlet: Or, the Prince of Denmark'

or

title:  |
  Hamlet: Or, the Prince of Denmark

Thanks, John, I'll just try adding quotes

Here's the actual yaml. So maybe it's the underscore?
