How to get metadata using React component?
An example is given in the documentation:

var conv = new showdown.Converter({metadata: true});
var html = conv.makeHtml(someMd);
var metadata = conv.getMetadata(); // returns an object with the document metadata

However, I am using the library in the context of the React component:

import MarkdownView from "react-showdown";

<MarkdownView ... />

And here is the title question. How to get metadata from Showdown Rect? Is it even possible?

Do you mean frontmatter data like

---
title: Hello world
---
content

You can already hide these data from rendering with the option prop:

import MarkdownView from "react-showdown";

<MarkdownView options={{ metadata: true }} ... />

Do you want also access these data, for example the title, in your markdown or in some custom sub-components?

Yes. I want access to that metadata.
