How to use Markdown Front Matter Editor
Edit front matter as data without running a template engine. Replacement accepts a JSON object and serializes it as standard YAML before the unchanged body.
- Enter input, replacement json object.
- Choose the settings for markdown front matter editor, then run the tool.
- Review the result and any limitations before copying or downloading it.
Good to know
- Only YAML front matter beginning at the first character is supported. Replacement replaces the complete map; scalar style/comments can change.
- Liquid, includes, custom YAML tags and arbitrary templates are never executed.
- Processing is local. Output is limited to 1,000,000 text characters unless a stricter file limit is stated.
Common questions
Will replacing metadata reformat the Markdown body?
No. The body text after the closing delimiter is copied unchanged.
Is this input sent to a server?
No. The application processes this input inside your browser tab and does not save it to persistent storage.
