Pandoc includes an empty title page when generating epub

Pandoc includes an empty title page when generating epub

Hello!

I tried to generate an epub today using `writeEPUB3`, passing the default 
writer options, an empty meta, and a bunch of headers followed by 
paragraphs.
For some reason it includes an empty page at the start though, which seems 
to be a title page. This prompted me to attempt adding some metadata. Said 
metadata shows up in the "title" and "author" fields of my epub reader but 
the first page stays empty.

How would I add some content or remove that first page?

Greetings,
Paul

Re: Pandoc includes an empty title page when generating epub

[John MacFarlane]

Can you give exact instructions for reproducing the
issue?  A small standalone Haskell program?

Also, when you say it's an empty page, what are you
using to view the EPUB?  (If you upload the epub
produced by pandoc that could also be useful.)

Finally, knowing the pandoc version would be helpful.

Are you generating the EPUB from Markdown? Please post the markdown file 
and the full commandline for Pandoc that you are using so we can see all 
the Pandoc options. I've made 30+ EPUB files using Markdown and Pandoc and 
I have never seen this.
