Timeline Viewport ignores "view" and "ranges" configuration #63

What happened?

I am using the Markwhen plugin in Obsidian. I am trying to set the initial viewport of the timeline to the 18th century (1774-1790), but the timeline always renders centered on the current date (Today/2025)

What did you expect to happen?

The timeline should open zoomed into the date range specified in the header, rather than "Today."

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

I have tried the following header configurations, none of which change the initial view:

Attempt 1:
title: Test Timeline
view: 1774-01-01/1790-01-01

Attempt 2:
title: Test Timeline
timeline:
ranges:
- 1774-01-01/1790-01-01

Anything else we need to know?
