title: 'frontmatter: Parse Front Matter from Documents'
version: 0.3.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.frontmatter
abstract: Extracts and parses structured metadata ('YAML' or 'TOML') from the beginning
  of text documents. Front matter is a common pattern in 'Quarto' documents, 'R Markdown'
  documents, static site generators, documentation systems, content management tools
  and even 'Python' and 'R' scripts where metadata is placed at the top of a document,
  separated from the main content by delimiter fences.
