Now that the front-matter is such a big tool, I reckon it may be a good idea to allow the user to select to show/hide meta data when previewing the note content.
The rationale is: We are now adding more & more detailed front matter in our notes which means in some cases they are more than just little details about the note.
I believe this mean we’d like to see them when previewing the note; or at least have the option to do that with a selector.
Settings → Editor → Show frontmatter.
I usually leave it set to enabled while developing stuff, and possibly turn off later:
It’s a rather helpful setting, I agree with you. And it even has YAML syntax highlighting. 
(And now, everybody will come and check if the beavers and the stork are still there, hee hee … If you do, pay me a visit and you’re in for a talk and a coffee.)
But it does not enable display on “hover” preview. This (when viewing and note and hovering on a link) preview only displays body content of the note, not the front matter.
Am I wrong?
No, you’re correct. It will make the frontmatter show up in normal preview, but not on “hover preview”. (Which I quite like, in order not to confuse my or any users.)
Seems I misunderstood you re hover preview, sorry.
If you really want that: You could probably style it using a CSS snippet:
.markdown-embed-content pre.frontmatter.language-yaml {
display: block;
}
Specificity is rather high, so you might get around without using !important.
Is that what you were out for?
Yes. Except I suggested an option to turn it on/off just like the other " show front matter" setting.
Well, if you make it a CSS snippet, you can always switch it on and off.
