How to prevent pandoc from adding the meta-data to the epub-content?

How to prevent pandoc from adding the meta-data to the epub-content?

Hello,

I want to generate an epub from my markdown files. So far, this works 
great, with only one small thing I can't solve.

I added yaml metadata and filled out the creator and the publisher and so 
on.
Now, since I'm selfpublishing, this is both me, so my name pops up at least 
twice on the title page, since pandoc inserts the metadata there.

Is it possible to stop pandoc from inserting the metadata to the content of 
my ebook?
Or can I change the content that pandoc inserts? Maybe to something 
individual?

Thanks a lot, I hope you understand what my problem is and are able to help 
me.

Martin

Yes.  You need to use a custom template.

Get the default epub3 template (assuming you're using
epub v3 -- otherwise substitute epub2) using

pandoc -D epub3 > custom.epub3

Now modify custom.epub3 with a text editor.  You'll
see a part of the template wrapped in the conditional
$if(titlepage)$...$endif$.  This is the part you'll
want to modify. You can just delete the publisher
part.

The metadata will still be in the epub, but this
way it won't appear on your title page.
