commit 2bc5df6011b345cbe2e6c1024cc5ca5b0feca36a
Author: Protesilaos Stavrou <[email protected]>
Commit: Protesilaos Stavrou <[email protected]>
denote-file-type: 'markdown-yaml', not 'markdown'
This makes it specific that the front matter is YAML-compliant. It also
gives us the option to support TOML.
Thanks to Kaushal Modi for the feedback in issue 4 over at the GitHub
mirror: <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/4>.
