frontmatter 0.5.1

YAML Front Matter parser

A very simple Python package for parsing YAML Front Matter from a text file. Supports both Python 2 and 3.

Usage:

import frontmatter

# assuming ‘testfile.md’ exists post = frontmatter.parse(‘testfile.md’)

print(post[‘metadata’]) # Dictionary print(post[‘content’]) # String

The output would be:

{‘foo’: ‘bar’, ‘num’: 3, ‘list’: [‘first’, ‘second’, ‘third’]}

This is the actual post content This is a second line

In the above example, the contents of testfile.md is:

— foo: bar num: 3 list: - first - second - third

This is the actual post content This is a second line
