Bug ID: 525570
Summary: The frontmatter of markdown becomes plain single-line
text
Classification: Applications
Product: ghostwriter
Version First 26.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Ghost Writer fails to recognize the YAML front matter at the beginning of
Markdown files.
The front matter block is not parsed separately and is rendered as a single
line of plain text instead.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a markdown file starting with standard YAML front matter:
```markdown
---
title: Test Page
author: llm
date: 2026-09-12
---
Content here.
```
2. Open this file in Ghost Writer.
OBSERVED RESULT
In live preview mode the whole front matter block is treated as normal text and
merged into one line.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ghost Writer should correctly identify the `---` wrapped YAML front matter at
the file head, render it as front matter metadata rather than regular article
text.
