Different field separators in text files?

[owzim]

The current separator ---- makes it hard to preview the file in any markdown parser, because it triggers a headline level 2 for all text above it. Any ideas for a different separator, that is readable as such but does not mess with markdown?

I'm not that well informed concerning Markdown and all its flavors, but are three (or four) plus signs (++++) still available?

Just tested around a bit, a blank line before and after the separator works just as well, it's more clear anyway:

title: Some Title

----

version: 0.0.1

----

authors: author

We should move from .txt to .md and all recipes should have new lines between content and separators (like in the post above), so this easily previewable/reviewable on GitHub and also better to edit/preview locally with a markdown editor.

I recommend this, becaus with the current pull request by adrian, the recipe is not too readable:

Bad:

Good:

Agree with both .md and the more readable formatting! Let's add adrian's PR first, then "refactor".
