Markdown source files: Use ... to end YAML metadata block
Also add a newline after the metadata block. ... is easier on markdown-mode; if --- is used, the line immediately above it will be treated as a setext header and highlighted, which isn't so easy on the eyes.

However, we lose all the old icons when we do a major OS upgrade. Technically they still live in Time Machine backups, but those are a pain to pull out. Therefore, I wrote a script just now to back up app icons of all applications living in `/Applications` (including those symlinked to `/Applications`, e.g., apps installed through `brew cask`) and its level-one subdirectories, and `/System/Library/CoreServices` (for `Finder.app` and such).
