 ## Frontmatter variables
 
 The frontmatter serves to hold a lot of useful information for both Pandoc and Pandoc citeproc. With such a frontmatter, you can control many aspects of how your document will be rendered, such as the language of the list of references. Zettlr currently supports a subset of these variables. The support for certain variables such as `nocite` or `lang` will increase in the future.
