Simple markdown file, with YAML block:
--- title: Report author: Tom Brown 12345678 date: August 2018 toc: true numbersections: true geometry: margin=2.5cm urlcolor: blue header-includes: | \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy} \lfoot{Draft Prepared: 15 August 2018} \rfoot{Page \thepage} --- When I create the PDF output, the title and ToC are on the same page. How can I get the title block on one page and the ToC on the next? I've searched high and low and cannot find a solution.

Pandoc allows to insert LaTeX between title and the actual document via the include-before metadata field. Adding the following to your YAML header should be sufficient:
include-before: - '`\newpage{}`{=latex}' While @tarleb's method of course is correct and more 'YAMLish' (but less intuitive), you can also write the following into your source Markdown file:
--- title: Report author: Tom Brown 12345678 date: August 2018 toc: true numbersections: true geometry: margin=2.5cm urlcolor: blue header-includes: | \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy} \lfoot{Draft Prepared: 15 August 2018} \rfoot{Page \thepage} --- \newpage{} # First Headline Here comes my markdown text .... 2
