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.

A typical situation: one commentator put together a sentence with all physics-sounding (kind of) terms he's ever heard of; the next commentator "agrees" with the previous one, adding something that sounds more reasonable (to folks who've never taken high school physics) but unfortunately violates the first law of thermodynamics; then yet another guy comes along and corrects both of the above in a pedagogic tone, with an argument that violates the second law of thermodymics... I cringe even more when laymen discuss mathematics, but that's much rarer compared to physics. |
