YAML fields in templates might be getting lost #21

If the template has some YAML fields that are not used by note-from-template, it could be that they are being removed from the final output

NOTICE THAT cssClass is missing in the YAML

That's very helpful, thanks! I'd guess that my YAML library is discarding empty tags, so that's a good place to start. If it is, then I'm not sure how much I can do about.
