Automatically include the image linked in the property cover at the top of the note body.

Usage

To add a cover to the top of your note, add a property called cover to the note's frontmatter, then add a link to the image you want to use as the cover.

Example:

---
cover: [[An Image.jpeg]]
---

The maximum width and height of the cover image are limited by default to 256 pixels. This value can be controlled by changing the two CSS variables --cover-image-max-width and --cover-image-max-height. To change the margins, or the padding of the container, the default values for the class .cover-container can be changed.
