gfm doesn't handle YAML metadata because it's a pandoc extension.
In principle we could wire up the gfm writer so you can do
gfm+yaml_metadata_block, but currently you can't.
You can force pandoc's regular markdown output to use pipe
tables by disabling other table styles:
pandoc -t markdown-simple_tables-multiline_tables-grid_tables
