Frontmatter
Frontmatter is a set of options (YAML format) that you can add to the top of your note body to control the post's behavior.
Example:
===
slug: my-post
excerpt: "This is a short description of my post"
password: "my-password"
===
Required format
- Place frontmatter at the very top of your note's body, directly under the Apple Note title.
- Only
===
is supported as the delimiter for frontmatter. YAML's standard---
delimiter is not supported because Apple Notes automatically converts---
to an em dash (—).

Validation
If you encounter issues with frontmatter in your live posts, it's likely due to invalid fields. Please double-check if you have included unsupported keys in the frontmatter. If not, you can validate the frontmatter using an online YAML validator like Mockoon's YAML Validator.
