Hi Suz,
Thanks for the thanks! :D.
I wrote the prettifier to cover a very personal need and ‘not stop writing,’ and since I did not plan it, it’s complicated for me to ‘disable table management.’
I think it would be better to deprecate prettifier and have two plugins instead:
-
A plugin that only formats the markdown. And I think ‘prettier format’ already does that, using a specialized, supported, and tested library ‘prettier.’
-
A proper plugin to manipulate and automate the YAML frontmatter
I use the prettifier YAML functionality to:
- Add and update dates.
- Add a UUID in the YAML to identify each note.
- Check if the YAML is well-formatted.
Perhaps it templater could be used to define the YAML.
Perhaps it would be better to propose YAML edition functionality or plugin?
How do you use it to write YAML?
