My guess is that he is building the PDFs through latex/xetex.

I built something similar to that, but instead of forking Pandoc (and investing the time to learn Haskell), I just added filters through Python. It's not at fast, but you can intercept mostly anything.

Thus, the flow ends up as:

paper.md -> Pandoc -> paper.json + metadata -> paper.tex -> paper.pdf

I want the flow to be

paper.tex -> paper.md + metadata ->(merge) paper.tex -> paper.pdf
