Maintaining a collection of notes involves a lot of logistical overhead.

Validation

Markdown allows you to preface your document with another, typically in YAML, that contains metadata about the document. A common use-case for this is in static site generators; Hugo checks your Markdown document's frontmatter for properties like title to help it make rendering decisions.

When you have data, making sure it's consistent is pretty important. For example, Hugo uses the boolean draft property to determine whether a post will be included in the generated site output. A personal blog is a low stakes example, but a business managing internal vs external documentation or otherwise enforcing standards could save themselves a lot of effort and headache if it were possible to automate the process of verifying the layout and disposition of their data.

The good news is that we don't have to invent anything here. Schemas exist precisely for this reason
