Use H1 or YAML property "title" instead of or in addition to filename as display name

@developers

A similar app called Notable uses a nifty solution of this (other than using YAML for title):

  1. Instead of “:” it uses “꞉” (Wikipedia) in the actual file name, but interprets it inside the app (e.g. in header/title) as a regular colon.
  2. Instead of “?” it uses “ʔ”.
  3. etc

As far as the user is concerned, no character is disallowed, and the OS is happy.

ETA: yt-dlp uses the same method for illegal characters.
