Frontmatter interpreted as top-level heading about markdownlint

[DavidAnson]

That scenario is correct and documented: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/main/doc/md025.md

I see. Yet I don't understand what's the rationale behind this choice, and what's the recommended change when you want to have the h1 header and the page title to be the same.

[DavidAnson]

Some systems (Jekyll, perhaps?) automatically use the front matter title as the H1 for the rendered page. In that scenario, what you show here would result in a duplicate title at the top of the blog. If that's not relevant for your situation, it's probably best to disable this rule at a project level.

How can you disable it at the project level? I'm using Astro btw.

[DavidAnson]

I don't know anything about how Astro works, but the typical way to do this would be to put a .markdownlint.json file in the root of the project. It only needs to disable the relevant rule by giving it the value false, but here is a complete example of what that file could contain: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/main/schema/.markdownlint.jsonc
