Description

This metadata specification is the first part of multimarkdown that I would like to see supported, beyond the already-supported footnotes. It seems to me that MMD metadata is (deliberately) close to the YAML that's also already supported.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked MultiMarkdown metadata specification and comparing it with MacDown's already-supported YAML handling. Identify the existing Markdown parsing entry point and determine how metadata should be represented and rendered; done means supported MultiMarkdown metadata behaves consistently with the specification.
