OK, I see now. The person who wrote this module never implemented `—standalone` features or any sensitivity to metadata.
Please requset this on our issue tracker; it shouldn’t be hard to add support.

>> I am attempting to use the xwiki output of Pandoc but wanted to use a custom template. When I used -D to get the default and then modified it and used the --template flag the modifications did not show up. I then attempted to see if the default template was used by specifying --table-of-contents and --include-before-body=FILE but neither of those effected the output. Is this a bug or am I making some mistake. I have tried replicating the same command line but just switching to HTML output and see the templating system working as documented.
