Title in YAML metadata block is not recognized

[kleinbottle]

I am using pandoc 2.9.2.1.

The pandoc_reader does not recognize the YAML metadata block at the top of my file beginning with --- and having a non-empty title. It complains instead that the title is empty. Why is this so and how might it be worked around?

Also, I think the --standalone option must be a default option. How might I add it to the command and commit it here?

Thanks for a great plugin: just what I need.
