   I avoided YAML front matter because it is not a part of markdown (see commonmark spec to know the spec of markdown). It's original extension of some markdown implementation. Some markdown parser does not implement it.

   I understand and agree, on the other hand, this is still completely valid markdown:

   ---          (horizontal rule)
   Categories:  (normal word)
    - foo       (bullet point list)
   Tags:        (normal word)
    - bar       (bullet point list)
   Created: ... (normal word)
   ---          (horizontal rule)

   So maybe even by the measures of the spec compliance, this is just an alternative way to store metadata which happens to also be parseable form a (quite) wide variety of markdown enhancing tools.
