parse_yaml.parse_yaml_eval_from_node

convert.parse_yaml.parse_yaml_eval_from_node(src_bytes, metadata_node)

Parse YAML front matter and return execute.eval setting.

This function takes the YAML metadata block at the top of the document, parses it, and looks for an execute.eval value. Various string forms (like “false”, “no”, “0”) are normalised to a Python bool. If anything goes wrong, or no value is provided, it falls back to True.

metadata_node	Node	YAML metadata node (minus_metadata) from the AST.	required

Returns

	bool	The default eval setting; True if parsing fails or no explicit value is provided.
