The front matter is one of the features that gives Hugo its strength. It enables
you to include the meta data of the content right with it. Hugo supports a few
different formats each with their own identifying tokens.
Supported formats: <br>
**YAML**, identified by '\-\-\-'. <br>
**TOML**, indentified with '+++'.<br>
**JSON**, a single JSON object which is surrounded by '{' and '}' each on their own line.
### YAML Example
{{% highlight yaml %}}
---
title: "spf13-vim 3.0 release and new website"
description: "spf13-vim is a cross platform distribution of vim plugins and resources for Vim."
tags: [ ".vimrc", "plugins", "spf13-vim", "vim" ]
date: "2012-04-06"
categories:
- "Development"
- "VIM"
slug: "spf13-vim-3-0-release-and-new-website"
