Add YAML metadata to the remarkable pluggable markdown parser

Based on code by Alex Kocharin from this mailing list post.

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install remarkable-meta

Example Usage

Given the following markdown file test.md with YAML meta data delimited by --- placed at the very top of the markdown file:

---
My: Word
Author: Eugene
Stuff:
  - My
  - Stuff
---

# My document

## Second heading

This is awesome.

* a point
* another point

The YAML front-matter metadata will be available on the markdown object after parsing when you add the remarkable-meta plugin:

var meta = require('remarkable-meta');
var md = new Remarkable();
md.use(meta);

// Load the file listed above
var file = fs.readFileSync('./test.md', 'uf8');

var html = md.render(mdText);
console.log(md.meta);
// { My: 'Word', Author: 'Eugene', Stuff: [ 'My', 'Stuff' ] }
