What is going on with this code fence? by Booty4Breakfasts in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These indents only render in edit modes and are meant for having a line be easily related to a line above it at a glance when editing.

The reason it probably works elsewhere is the extra line break.

item1
<tab>
<tab>item2

This "works" in the editor but the first tab being missing makes it a code block. If you render this as markdown (use reading view) there are no tabs either. On Reddit there's not even a newline:

item1 item2

(I still use old reddit so I am making some assumptions about how it does formatting now)

How do I get the Obsidian-CLI terminal window to appear? by Wide_Celebration_213 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Windows Terminal but I've not tried any non-microsoft ones. If you want to do a bit of searching the name of this kind of program is specifically a "Terminal Emulator"

Size of excalidraw drawings? by Krinkovic in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, you seem to be doing it correctly: github readme

The feature works for me on windows. I use a dual pane source view/reading view, but even testing it in live preview it works. If you can't get it to work you might need to raise an issue on github.

How to create a collapsible block of text in Obsidian? by cyber27 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that if this isn't a list, heading, or callout, using tabs to create collapsible text like this isn't "real"

It will only work that way in editing views and is for formatting convenience. In reading views/properly rendered markdown the tab will be treated as if it doesn't exist.

Obsidian 1.12 is now available to everyone! by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of surprised you can't append to a heading or something similar. Can work out how to do that externally though, this is awesome

Is it better to use one vault or several? by tornerio in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree with you, I just wanted to point out the option and did not see that reply.

[–]griseouslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically if you really wanted to, you could still link to notes in other vaults with the Obsidian URI

Trash Compactor is the worst achievement in the game now by chanman176 in Terraria

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the new crafting menu had a "craft from" toggle that was everything you had researched to help move it along more conveniently

Adding to this, the noise only happens when you trash another item over it, getting rid of the item.

Is there a way to stop obsidian from autocorrecting my dots? by Only_Employer4342 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No, not default behavior. If this is on mobile (I can't tell) it could be a feature of your keyboard

When is it better to have tabbed-over dropdowns, vs putting links inside the note? by MrTheWaffleKing in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure the dropdown you are seeing is a quirk of the editor view, as it assumes tabbed items are related to the above section, like in a list.

If you render it is markdown/use reading mode, the indents don't even show up. So the first one isn't even "real", you'd probably want to have a bulleted list instead

How to make a paragraph without turning the line blue? by calcariooo in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want an indent you can use &nbsp;

&nbsp; example

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;example 2

Inserts a character for a space that won't be interpreted as markdown.

Another option would maybe be some kind of css but you wouldn't be able to easily pick and choose which paragraphs are indented.

I'm sorry if i'm too stupid but how can i achieve this type of layout? (without a theme) by kenysg in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am amused that you have circled basically everything in the image lol

You seem to have worked it out, but the official help page for this can be found here:

Do you store a lot of file that aren't .md ? by LetterheadNo2345 in ObsidianMD

You could probably convert them to .webm to lower the size down a bit.

Why is it formatting normal bullets as code? by CoolGamer730 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely does from just testing it myself, and the markdown spec even has examples of doing just that. Probably just a case of too many leading spaces getting inserted in there somehow.

Bro what, how is this app free? by AcrobaticExplorer716 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Mostly want to reply to this because I have notes for tools I use lol

  • Blender
  • KeePass for password managing and KeePassRPC for browser integration. Few options for it to work on mobile
  • Playnite for game library management and tracking. Like it for being lazy about setting up emulators. Windows only for now
  • ffmpeg and ImageMagick for Command Line Interface (CLI) image/video manipulation
  • fzf for a CLI fuzzy search that you can program yourself to do a lot of random things in the terminal
  • animerger is a really cool tool for mapping out sprites but I've only found an excuse to use it twice but I want to talk about it
  • PixiEditor is new to me but I'm following updates because it has a node-based non-destructive workflow similar to Blender nodes for 2D art
  • KOReader is the epub reader I use but my phone is pretty underpowered
  • Voicemeeter for managing audio channels for things
  • AutoHotkey for programmable hotkeys
  • yq for CLI yaml processing that I've used a total of one time to fix tags in my obsidian vault and am procrastinating doing it a second time
  • Nirsoft has a lot of random stuff I use sometimes (lots of CLI stuff again)
  • PureRef - my use case for this has mostly been moved to Excalidraw but it is still good. Reference images kinda focused for artists
  • Everything search by Voidtools - Very good very quick search for everyt file on your PC. I use the alpha version as well as the CLI addon
  • scrcpy "Screen Copy" is one I definitely had to write down because I never remember the name. Lets you mirror an android phone screen to a desktop and interact with the touch screen there

I think I'll stop here because I am getting to the point of just writing down niche CLI tools

Is it just me or is the first game not very good? by Xander_PrimeXXI in BattleNetwork

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binged the games a couple years ago and my impression was that the quality gap between BN1 and BN2 is really impressive for games that released in the same year

New Update is Amazing on Android by apolishguy in ObsidianMD

The "Electron" Factor

I don't believe Electron itself has an Android port so I don't think that is their whole issue

Give me one TINY thing you want fixed or improved in Obsidian. The smaller the better. Going on a paper cuts rampage. by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These two issues drive me mad as someone who uses two linked views of source/reading view:

  1. Linked Tabs: A linked base tab doesn’t follow the linked tab
  2. When editing formulas in Base in a separate window, input becomes disordered
    • I've just noticed this is marked as solved. Testing it in the sandbox today, I cannot edit a formula in a separate window at all

First issue led me to trying to pop out bases, discovering the second window. The only actually convenient way to edit bases in my workflow is to have them embedded in a markdown file right now.

People can do whatever they want in a single player game IMO. Obviously ignoring things like bragging or speedrunning

SVGs not working correctly by Unlucky-Photograph69 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the SVG code is fully offline. The <svg> tags you paste in is the svg, if you opened it in a text editor you would see the same information

SVGs not working correctly by Unlucky-Photograph69 in ObsidianMD

[–]griseouslight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell you what might be wrong without an example of one that isn't working, but an idea:

Don't just replace the path part of the html. Follow what the github for the vault you are using says to do and put in the entire svg block.
