My early negative reaction to the default editor view melted away after I spent some time tweaking the preferences-setting a maximum editor width is immensely helpful, for starters: MacDown’s editor pane after setting a maximum width, using Operator Mono as the font. If IA Writer is very careful and particular-but rigid-in its design decisions, then MacDown is way more open to tinkering with the editor experience. This is still better than what I’ve experienced in IA Writer, which doesn’t render the YAML block at all. Turns out in the Rendering section of the preferences there’s a checkbox “Detect Jekyll front-matter”, which results in a much more pleasant table rendering of YAML: Table rendering of “Jekyll” YAML block But it’s not enabled by default, so I was a little confused when I dropped in a quick attempt: Default rendering of fenced YAML front matter block MacDown’s startup screen touts Jekyll front matter support, which presumably would support Eleventy’s YAML front matter.
