Viewing YAML Metadata in your Documents

Many blogging websites, like Jekyll with GitHub Pages, depend on
some YAML-formatted metadata at the beginning of your post. You know, the stuff that goes between dashes like this:

---
title: Blogging Like a Boss
---

Starting today, we’ll render this metadata within GitHub as an horizontal table, for easier reading:

This rendering works for any prose document that GitHub supports, so you don’t need to use Jekyll or Markdown for this to appear. Check out github/markup for a full list of which prose documents we support.

Happy writing!
