Shell (zsh) for loop: apply correct suffix based on Pandoc output format?

I used to do this (in macOS / zsh), as seen in the Pandoc FAQ:

for f in *.md;
do pandoc \
--defaults=defaults.yml \
"$f" \
--output="${f%.md}.htm";
done

But I am now changing output formats in defaults.yml (or additional default 
files), e.g. “to: docx”, and the target files obviously shouldn’t have 
“.htm” then.

How can I modify the for loop so the correct suffix is applied for the 
output format set in a defaults file?

(I realize I could manually add a “output-format-suffix” shell variable and 
use that in the loop, but I hope there’s something more elegant than that.)

Thank you.
