Hello everyone!

I'm trying to simplify the YAML section of my Markdown files by writing 
most of my settings in a separate default file or metadata file. The idea 
is to write just a few lines of YAML in my Markdown file and then having a 
separate file (let's call it config.yaml) in which I can set everything 
else. Let me provide a practical example:

> file.md
```markdown
---
title: This is a simple Markdown file
author: Emiliano
default: ${.}/config.yaml
---

# Heading

This is the content of the section.
```

> config.yaml
```yaml
---
lang: en-US
papersize: a4
linestretch: 1.5
mainfont: "Palatino"
geometry:
  - top=2.5cm
  - left=3cm
  - right=3cm
  - bottom=2.5cm
pdf-engine: xelatex
---
```

This very example I provided does not work! Do you have any idea of how to 
solve this issue?

Many thanks in advance!
Emiliano
