Hey @kmaustral . Could you provide your data.json and a sample file that causes the problem? This will help me reproduce the issue.

[kmaustral]

Thanks for following this up. Here's a sample note and the data.json file.

20 - Insectopedia.md
data.json

Let me know if there are any issues with this.

I will have to take a look at this some time later. Something is messing up the YAML according to the report (I have not yet reproduced since I am not yet able to run this against a vault). I will have to determine the exact rule causing the problem later.

I am not seeing anything wrong with the initial YAML, so this is likely an issue with a rule operating on the YAML that should not be or a bug in one of the YAML rules that has gone unnoticed up until now.

Hey @kmaustral , just to double check. Are you using live preview when you view a markdown file? I ask because there has been reported bugginess around that that has not been resolved since it does not seem to be consistent across vaults (I have been able to reproduce some instances of it and other times I have not been able to). I just want to rule that out since so far running the following rules individual I am not seeing any output that would cause the issue you are seeing:

• Format Tags in YAML
• Sort YAML Keys

Thanks Peter. Yes, I was using Live Preview. I tried it with Source mode and there were no problems. I'll remember to change mode when performing the clean. Much appreciated, Kevin

same issue using Live Preview

This should be fixed in the next release of the Linter. If not, please let us know so we can see why it is still not working.

[pjkaufman]

I believe this was fixed by #963 .
