Markdown Preview: transpose Frontmatter Table #3325

Is there a reason they don't format it like that originally? Then everyone would get the benefit.

@busches I have the same question. I remember seeing this weird layout years ago.

I think the idea was that the front matter doesn’t have that many fields; with 4 fields it’s probably fine to show it horizontally.

I agree that the transposed table looks much better with many fields though.

Can you find other languages with front matter? I think Jekyll also supports it.

4 columns

i think even if there is one long text in one parameter it looks bad as columns, so i personally would prefer always transposing the table (so i don't have to think: why on one it looks different than on the other file? maybe then they show different infos?)

Layout:

maybe add some "fancy" stuff like other border color and/or a header "Metadata" to see that this is a "generated" table and not a table from the markdown content of the file.

with 4 fields it’s probably fine to show it horizontally

is there a way to make this 4 as an option in Refined GitHub in the settings? so i can theak this for myself to 0 ;)
