Not nice. We should probably at least:

  1. parse title and display that

:tada:

Might be nice to also parse author/date/subtitle if available? Not sure if it adds too much or unnecessary complexity to the code.

@RaoOfPhysics do you know if there's a set of 'well known' Rmd keys we can parse and use?

@RaoOfPhysics for now, I've just removed the unformatted view of the frontmatter from the display - check out https://notebooksharing.space/view/468d71e31b3d685154c070b34f3ca88ab1eebf2ff96677ec2dbbc01b1f830897#displayOptions=hide-inputs.

I think figuring out a way to display at least these 4 attributes will be great.
