[Request]: Ignore YAML metadata on import #25

Closed sirgawain111 closed 1 year ago

sirgawain111 commented 1 year ago

On import, the YAML metadata entries in the "header section" such as aliases, tags, etc. are (partly) imported as \

paragraphs. Would it be possible to completely ignore those entries on import?

Obsidian file: grafik

Foundry journal entry: grafik

Oh that's interesting that it is imported as h2. Must be something with showdown interpreting text before "---".

Yeah I will write something to exclude metadata.

This plugin is an absolute game-changer for me! Thank you so much! I am having this same issue- Tags are super useful in Obsidian but don't really help at all in Foundry. Aliases could be useful but I don't know how you could implement them other than duplicate entries. I think the best thing to do for now would be to just check for the --- --- and strip or ignore it completely.

Something interesting is that showdown, the markdown converter that Foundry implemented, does have an option to ignore metadata, but it is off by default. Might merely be a matter of seeing if I can enable that. That would be ideal vs actually changing the content of the note as it is imported.

This issue along with a few others has been fixed in release 2.2.0. Please upgrade your module and let me know if you experience any more unexpected behavior. Thanks!
