Standard Structured Text for Projects

Markdown with YAML frontmatter is an excellent choice for project documentation which offers a compromise between interoperability and flexibility.

Create an Import-Markdown returning frontmatter and body objects.
Create vscode workflows for formatting frontmatters and calculating properties.
Integrate my "Estimating Work" and "Notebook" folders
- Before my plaintext renaissance, I used to need many more .xlsx and .pdf files for a single project. It makes better sense for Sources.xlsx to be .yaml

Ultimately most project information could be formatted in markdown and yaml files, greatly aiding in:

quick research
data aggregation and analysis
version control and backups
software independence

without compromising on professional output. Even proposals are truly better suited to this format as, neglecting the former benefits, markdown can be rendered with standard stylesheets for improved consistency.

Sublime is a friendly option for non-technical users.
