There isn’t a way of changing the metadata formatting that radically. That feature is hard-coded to produce either MultiMarkdown or Pandoc compatible metadata blocks.

There are two approaches you could take:

- The easiest is going to be to copy and paste the metadata info into a binder item, and put that item at the top of the Draft folder. It would at that point just be another piece of text, and you can thus format it however you want. Naturally you would clear all metadata settings after doing so.

- The other approach is to use Section Layout’s prefix feature to [create your own metadata block](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/metadata-for-markdown-yaml/41767/2).\[1\]

1. There is a sample project demonstrating the technique, a bit further down in that thread.
