How to use hide side functionalities with mdformat github action

[LuigiCerone]

Hello!

I'm using Hiding sidebar functionalities in a Python repo that has also pre-commit configured with mdformat.
The problem is that this:

---
hide:
  - navigation
---

is reformatted into this:

______________________________________________________________________

hide:

- navigation

______________________________________________________________________

and after that it is not recognized by mkdocs and therefore it doesn't work. Is there a way to make this theme support the mdformat syntax? Thanks :)

The header meta data of a Markdown file is called front matter.

The issue is that your mdformat tool doesn't support it.

hukkin/mdformat#332

In the linked issue thread some mdformat-mkdocs plugin collection is mentioned you could install and add such support but I did not try it myself ✌️
