+## Markdown features
+
+The Front Matter extension tries to make it easy to manage your Markdown pages/content. Within a Markdown page, we allow you to fold the file's Front Matter to be less distracting when writing. Also, do we highlight the Front Matter content to create a visual difference between content and metadata.

+## Site preview
+
+The Markdown preview is not consistently delivering the same result as the one you will see on your site. The Front Matter extension provides you a way to show the site result. For this, you will first have to set the `frontMatter.preview.host` setting. You can perform it from the `Global Settings` section in the panel or in your `settings.json` file to set the setting.
+
+For example, with Hugo, the local server spins up on `http://localhost:1313`. When you set this URL as the value of the `frontMatter.preview.host` setting. You can click on the `open preview` button and the site preview will be shown.

 ## Custom actions

 Since version `1.15.0`, the extension allows you to create your own custom actions, by running Node.js scripts from your project. In order to use this functionality, you will need to configure the [`frontMatter.custom.scripts`](#frontmattercustomscripts) setting for your project.
