Description

@mhakash

Currently, the Markdown Viewer doesn't display frontmatter (YAML metadata) that appears at the beginning of Markdown files.

Many Markdown files, especially those used in static site generators and documentation, include frontmatter like:

YAML

title: "What is Frontmatter"
description: "A guide to understanding Markdown frontmatter."
date: 2026-03-26
tags: ["markdown", "metadata", "yaml"]

Feature Request: Add support for visualizing and properly rendering GitHub-style frontmatter in the Markdown Viewer. This would allow users to see metadata like title, description, date, tags, and other custom fields alongside the main Markdown content.

Here is an example screenshot
