YAML Meta Data Extension for Python-Markdown

This extension adds YAML meta data handling to markdown.

As in the original, meta data is parsed but not used in processing.

(YAML meta data is used e.g. by pandoc)

Dependencies: PyYAML

Basic Usage

>>> import markdown
>>> text = '''---
... Title: Test Doc.
... Author: Waylan Limberg
... Blank_Data:
... ...
...
... The body. This is paragraph one.
... '''
>>> md = markdown.Markdown(['meta'])
>>> print(md.convert(text))
<p>The body. This is paragraph one.</p>
>>> print(md.Meta) # doctest: +SKIP
{'blank_data': [''], 'author': ['Waylan Limberg'], 'title': ['Test Doc.']}
