YAML YAML, Go Away

I added it to the feature request forum.

Hiding YAML in Edit Mode

Use case or problem YAML appears to have won the battle for the preferred metadata section format. Obsidian is also supporting it more directly with support for aliases. This frontmatter is only going to grow in size - and is potentially in every file. Unfortunately, the requirement to place the metadata at the top of the text file goes against many design rules by getting in between the meat of note and the interface. As yaml headers expand, the true content of the note will get pushed further…

Also, for other readers, I found an old feature request that discussed (and successfully implemented) removal of YAML in the viewer mode.

Ignore YAML in viewer

Some other apps create markdown files with YAML headers. These show up as large headers in the viewer mode. I read on Discord that you are thinking about supporting YAML tags in the future, but for now, it would be great to have the option just to hide the whole thing from the viewer. Thanks!
