Extract post formatting (YAML headmatter + Markdown) from core about antwar HOT 6 CLOSED

If we allow plugins to override which loaders are used, and also override post parsing then this shouldn't be that tricky to do. But interoperability with other plugins become harder if we can't guarantee what will be passed in preProcess and postProcess hooks. So I'd vote for being a bit opinionated here. highlighting etc can pretty easily be done in postProcessing.

We can also override each step of the post processing with plugins (url, content etc)

In general it should be possible to author posts in whatever format you like.

what do you mean by this?

one of the reason why I left jekyll bloging is mandatory of yaml header, while we can extract almost everything from raw content of markdown article. Title, date, desc, image, content (text nodes in text and in html) it’s all extractable from my perspective

from antwar.

So the question is do you really want to force everybody to use yaml headers or it is not mandatory?

This issue is actually obsolete. We aren't dependent on Markdown anymore. If YAML headmatter exists we'll parse that but it doesn't matter if it's missing.
