Now that I have implemented a [[!ymlfront ...]] directive, I would like to remove support for the old "---" delimited format, because

  • it is fragile (easily breakable)
  • it is non-standard

Any objections?

Well, I don't have much standing since I have been too lame to integrate ymlfront into ikiwiki yet. Buy, my opinion is, I liked the old format of putting the YAML literally at the front of the file. It seemed to allow parsing the file as YAML, using any arbitrary YAML processer. And it was nice how it avoided boilerplate. --[[Joey]]
