Hi All, I'm leveraging the GitHub Superlinter as part of my project, which uses the markdownlint project for the markdown aspects (Thank you for the work!)

I've noticed in one of my markdown files, that I have a Title which is being flagged by the linter, because it believes there are multiple top level headings in the same document.

As an example -

---
#####
# Required
#####
description: "" # This is a short summary of the page, which is used for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation purposes) It does not appear to the users, but is used as part of the site's metadata, which is used by search engines. Therefore, it's strongly recommended to set this to something meaningful, as it will have a positive impact on discoverability of your content in public searches.populated the page's description metadata.
publishDate: "" # Date that the page should be published
title: "Offline" # Title of the page
---

# No Internet Access

Oops! It looks like you're unable to access the internet right now :(

Is there a way to ignore the contents of frontmatter? I thought this should happen by default, from what I understood in the docs. Thanks in advance for the help!

You can change this behavior by configuring the way front matter is handled by the rule as documented here: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/main/doc/Rules.md#md041 This scenario is highlighted there.
