Description:
Extracts and parses structured metadata ('YAML' or 'TOML') from the beginning of text documents. Front matter is a common pattern in 'Quarto' documents, 'R Markdown' documents, static site generators, documentation systems, content management tools and even 'Python' and 'R' scripts where metadata is placed at the top of a document, separated from the main content by delimiter fences.
