I have in my document
# Formatting Settings
documentclass: article
fontsize: 12pt
geometry: margin=1.0in
#geometry: "left=3cm,right=3cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm"
header-includes:
- \usepackage{times}
- \usepackage[mathlines,displaymath]{lineno}
- \linenumbers
urlcolor: blue
They work, when I include them into header.yaml and use include-header I got following error
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

I managed to solve my problem by including tex file when running pandoc command line, but in general - how to include latex parameters in header is not solved
After some inspection, it seems that including latex headers wouldn't work because they are processed before the filter, which means only other metadata could be included.
Maybe I should emphasize it in the README. If you find some workarounds, feel free to comment here.
I put latex header into separate file and run pandoc with `—include-in-header file.tex’ and it was my workaround
I found the actual reason today. It seems that reading directly from yaml would lose some information. So I use pandoc itself instead of yaml to read the headers to fix it.
It should work in v0.8.7 now.
