Markdown is the closest you’re going to get to raw information (plain text) without losing quality of life features for information organization.
Apart from the features in Markdown, a lightweight markup language, it is useful to add metadata about the context and purpose of a document as part of the frontmatter of a document.
This allows for unique information organization, analysis, and synthetic capabilities you can build easily using bash scripting on your markdown files. I call this “knowledge scripting”
In the pursuit of scaling up my Knowledge Ocean and standardizing my future workflow of “knowledge scripting”, it is in my best interest to come to a steady state consensus on what this frontmatter should look like in most, if not all, of my markdown documents.
This process involves understanding how other text-based platforms treat markdown metadata. I want to create a metadata standard for myself
