    There is maybe an easy way: generate a file with the packages we need

     \usepackage{setspace}
     \doublespacing
     \usepackage[vmargin=1in,hmargin=1in]{geometry}
     \usepackage{lineno}
     \linenumbers
    

    I named it options.sty. And use the -H FILE option that includes the content of the FILE at the end of the preamble. (as used in https://github.com/karthikram/smb_git)

     pandoc -H options.sty --bibliography mypaper.bib mypaper.md -o mypaper.pdf 
    

    The advantage is that we don't need to edit the template. To add linenumbers, change margins, and set spacing it works.

    In more recent version of Pandoc, you can use a YAML header and include a bunch of metadata in that, instead of using options on the command line. So, for instance, you can put this at the top of your .md file:

    ---
    title: The Document Title
    author:
        - Your Name
        - Co Author
    date: \today{}
    geometry: margin=2cm
    header-includes:
        - \usepackage{setspace}
        - \doublespacing
        - \usepackage{lineno}
        - \linenumbers
    ---
    
    Document Text
    

    and pandoc will read those options and apply them automatically.

    You'll need to use a custom LaTeX template. First, use pandoc to create a copy of the default template:

    pandoc -D latex > mytemplate.latex
    

    Now edit this template. Somewhere in the preamble (between \documentclass{...} and \begin{document}), insert the lines

    \usepackage{setspace}
    \doublespacing
    

    Then, to use your custom template:

    pandoc --template mytemplate.latex mypaper.txt -o mypaper.tex
