Fixing Obsidian’s Markdown Display with CSS
https://blog.kizu.dev/fixing-obsidians-markdown-display-with-css/
A new blog post in my blog: I am sharing a #CSS snippet I wrote for #Obsidian, which makes the default Markdown display better for me by always showing the corresponding formatting symbols.
@kizu @obsidianmd @obsidian this is a really nice work-around to live preview in Obsidian
@dja @obsidianmd @obsidian Thanks!
I wish this was available as a built-in option, as it does not work for all the cases like nested _**strong inside em**_, but better than nothing I guess.
I did not yet look into if there would be something additional possible through the plugin API — if it will allow altering how the formatted markdown tags look with the access to their source code (like, access to the markdown AST or something), a plugin fixing this properly could be also be possible.
This is incredible! I would love it as a fully-supported editing mode; maybe even a replacement for Live Edit.
@kizu @obsidianmd In the Obsidian settings you can switch between Live preview and Source view mode. I think Source view shows markdown.
@vasilis @obsidianmd Yep, I did mention it in the post — I want to see both the markdown formatting, _and_ the embeds, with links working as usual, etc.
In the “Source Mode” I have to press cmd when going through links, and I cannot see any images and other embeds.
@kizu @obsidianmd Oops, sorry, didn’t read careful enough.
