obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table VS obsidian-textgenerator-plugin

Before they breathed new life into that project I used the following to better manage tables: - https://github.com/tgrosinger/advanced-tables-obsidian - https://github.com/ganesshkumar/obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table

I use advanced tables[0] and Excel to markdown tables[1] plugins - they make working with tables in Obsidian a bit easier.

That said, I think tables are markdown's Achilles heel - anything involving multi-line content starts to make things complicated.

I really like make.md for its powerful and simplified design. Advanced Tables and Excel to markdown table are great if you are working with tables a lot and also "smaller" plugins like paste url into selection and tag wragler really can make your life easier.

When evaluating Obsidian did you try the obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table plugin?

I don't know how well it works, but there is a plugin for that: obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table or https://github.com/ganesshkumar/obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table

... and then - pre-emergency - using a plugin such as obsidian-table-editor or obsidian-excel-to-markdown-table to communicate with Obsidian.

I think you can achieve something similar to notion ai with text generator plugin maybe not so polished, but should be good enough

I would argue that plugins solve this issue and save the dev team from becoming bogged down with ai requests. I'm sure if you were to share this in the plugin discord channel you may find the solution already exists. Much of what you describe could be done with a bit of research into the other available ai plugins for obsidian including AVA, Gpt-3 Notes, and the extremely powerful Text Generator plugin... off the top of my head I believe you could assign a hot key to a particular text generator custom template that says something like "generate tags based on the note content" and insert it into the YAML, take that even further by integrating it into your note template with Templater/Quickadd by calling the command upon creation.

I just remembered there is currently an OPENAI plugin called Text Generator that I've used and works pretty well, as a current example of a GPT-3 implementation. Here's the repo if it's any use to you: https://github.com/nhaouari/obsidian-textgenerator-plugin

I would try to combine a few plugins in Obsidian, Text Generator and any of the OCR plugins.

Well this already exists for GPT-3 so it's only a matter of them opening up the API I figure.

Hi there, Thanks for your interest in the Text Generator plugin! It's certainly an incredible tool. The full documentation for the plugin can be found at https://www.text-gen.com/. Unfortunately, the fine-tuning of parameters to train the generator on your own vault is not yet available, but it is on the roadmap for future development of this plugin. In the meantime, you can still use the Text Generator to explore and generate new ideas from text related to whatever topics you are interested in! Hope this helps and good luck with your project!
