@mjbvz Would you rather like it to become a part of this repository or to exist as a separate extension?

I just published an extension that adds this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bierner.markdown-yaml-preamble

Currently shipped as its own extension. May consider bundling it as an extension dependency in the future
