I confess I had not seen this command before (read all sections mentioning 
"title" on the manual, but should have looked into header as well haha).

However, when I tried it produced a header that apparently VSCode does not 
recognize, and is therefore shown only on the source file (not the 
preview). The expected behavior I hoped was for the title to assume the 
position of the first level heading (after all, it is the only one with a 
line underneath it). 
Should I be reading the .md file with something else? 

Apologies for my ignorance, but what would the command do? Upon searching 
the manual, the section "Metadata blocks" does mention one use for it, 
being to produce an html file or, god forbid, LaTeX; but for now just the 
md file seems enough for me.
