pandocmeta

Provides a function that converts Pandoc metadata types to a, possibly multi-dimensional, table.

Suppose, for example, your document has this YAML header:

---
title: The document title
author:
- name: Author One
affiliation: University of Somewhere
- name: Author Two
affiliation: University of Nowhere
...

pandocmeta allows you to access the affiliation of the second author by saying:

require 'pandocmeta'

function Pandoc (doc)
meta = pandocmeta.totable(doc.meta)
affiliation = meta['author'][2]['affiliation']
end
