Italic in the frontmatter

1

Hello

How to display the title field into the front matter in italic ?

---
title: foo *foo* 
---

doesn’t work with the mmistakes theme

Jekyll doesn’t process front matter content.
You have to do it explicitly:

{{ page.title | markdownify }}

Alternatively, use HTML directly:

---
title: foo <em>foo</em>
---

Thank you: only the second solution for the yaml !
