That’s [what I just thought of](https://discuss.write.as/t/would-writefreely-consider-supporting-yaml/3040)! This will greatly facilitate migration! If we also add links of image from the external map bed in the `MD` file, then the migration of the blog will be very easy!

I currently have hundreds of posts that need to be migrated from **other** blog platform to _WriteFreely_, but the thing that bothersme the most is that WriteFreely doesn’t support YAML. I believe that _write.as_ or _writeFreely_ will attract more people from other blog platforms if this feature is supported.

By the way, will WriteFreely support direct reading of MD files in the future? In that case, migration achieves maximum convenience.
