Ignores YAML block that Pandoc should understand

[aabs]

Placing a YAML block at the beginning of chapter1.md, does not result in a title page in PDF. Is there a way to achieve this that is not documented?

Hi, the sample document generated by "udoc init" puts the following lines in chapter1.md:

% Uberdoc Sample Document
% Stephan Brosinski
%

When I generate a PDF with "udoc build -p" I get a title page in my PDF.
I didn't test the Pandoc YAML metadata block yet, I'll give it a try as soon as I find some time.

According to the pandoc documentation yaml_metadata_block is a markdown extension which can be enabled by adding it to the format parameter. So theoretically you could add "-f markdown+yaml_metadata_block" to the config key pandoc_options_pdf in uberdoc.cfg.
When I do this though I get an error from pandoc: "Unknown extension: yaml_metadata_block".

Ok, this seems to work once I upgraded to the newest pandoc version. I also had to alter the default.tex latex template and add "\usepackage{booktabs}".
