  • Do any of us use a linter?
    2 projects | /r/ObsidianMD | 19 Nov 2023
    I did some searching and found a tool by Victor Tao (not me), called Obsidian Linter, and it got me wondering, have any of you found success using this tool, or something similar? I have been working with it for a minute now, and though a lot of my time right now is spent tweaking the linting options, I feel once I have gotten everything set up the way I need it, this could be quite the game changer for my productivity and note-taking speed.
  • TTRPG, YAML, and Pathfinder 1e Bestiary Escape Help
    3 projects | /r/ObsidianMD | 12 Oct 2023
    It turns out that the plugin Linter is able to automatically escape YAML keys that shouldn't be there, including this exact use case, a colon followed by a space. The trouble is that it is not doing it, which I assume means Linter is only parsing the frontmatter YAML for this issue and is not checking the content between ```. Anyone able to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

  • easily track when files were created or modified?

    You can use the frontmatter for this. I like the Linter plugin bc it can easily create and update that for you. As for linking to the calendar, there are a few ways to achieve that. You could probably use DataView with the frontmatter mentioned above, but I am not as familiar with that. I just the Calendar + Periodic Notes plugins to create daily notes using a template, which includes this:
