Handling Metadata in Markdown Files

[Edward Ost]

Is there a way to effectively comment out the metadata so that when it renders in just regular markdown, e.g. on Github wiki, it does not show a bunch of lines merged together?

I tried commenting out with the usual html <-- and > and it works in the github markdown renderer but claat complains.

Have you tried surrounding the markdown with <pre> ...  </pre> tags (or code tags)?   I haven't tested this but it might work because markdown is a superset of html.

I suspect the "correct" solution here may be https://github.com/googlecodelabs/tools/issues/877 to be able use YAML Front Matter as a kind of Header in Markdown.

This would require someone make a contribution with a code change to support this in the future.
