The front matter for one of my blog posts in VS Code:

At this stage we're aiming to handle documents that conform to CommonMark, or thereabouts. But I can see that it would be handy to see about handling this too; I'll keep this in mind.

This should probably be something supported by the Textual Markdown widget.

@willmcgugan Yup, experimented with it briefly this morning and have it working; albeit by "ignoring" the front-matter for now; hence Textualize/textual#2440.

See also #20 for a more general take on this (eg: footnotes could be handy, etc).

Now that Textualize/textual#2803 is part of Textual it should be easy enough to pull in the relevant plugin and make use of it.

As of #96 frontmatter won't be displayed within the document view.
