Pandoc Documentation

We will add more information how to use the pandoc templates. For this moment you can reverse engineer how the example works.

1. The readme contains front matter that configures some features in the LaTex template and some settings pandoc needs.
2. The front matter points to a latex template in example/dotpandoc
