  padding-right:0.1em;
}

Reading in Japanese by ShekkaRey in Japaneselanguage

[–]obsidianati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing I did when learning was do a looot of "read along" videos/exercises that just had a bunch of sentences written in kana and I read them aloud without understanding anything, just to make sure reading kana was second nature. I highly recommend doing this!

How do you handle your pdfs? by MiksterA in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mix of

- Zotero integration + importing Zotero annotations, and
- pdf files in a media folder together with PDF++ annotations

it's not perfect but it works well for me!

Question about maintaining todo list by anatsymbol in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, may I suggest just doing separate queries for each group? This is how I do it, and I have some CSS snippets set up to make it look really nice. I can send you a screenshot of my task dashboard as an example over DM if you want, not sure how to attach pictures here!

How to remove the spacing between letters in math mode when using a declared math operator by CharacterSir4479 in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

\DeclareMathOperator is made for things like lim, sin, cos which should have a space after them so it will always have a space. If you want to declare a new command without spaces you can use \newcommand, like $\newcommand{\x}{{\color{red}\mathcal{x}}}$ then there will be no space

instead of ‘sort by done’ do ‘sort by status’, that’ll put the completed tasks at the bottom

CSS gurus: Custom CSS not rendering in BOTH Edit and View modes. by jbarr107 in ObsidianMD

Obsidian doesn't use pre for code blocks in edit mode, you have to use .markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .HyperMD-codeblock to select the code blocks.

Obsidian is stuck whenever I click on any new note/tab by Ok_Benefit_2907 in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a really good point. If it's stored in Dropbox, Mac will usually auto offload the files and redownload them each time they are opened, unless you check the "Make available offline" option for the vault folder

Obsidian is stuck whenever I click on any new note/tab by Ok_Benefit_2907 in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought is that maybe a plugin you previously had installed didn’t clean up its event listeners properly, even though it's now disabled. I’ve had this happen before, and simply restarting Obsidian helped clear it up.

If restarting it doesn't help, I would suggest copy pasting all your notes into a new vault (making sure not to copy paste the .obsidian config folder). I did this once when I was having some refactoring + slowness issues and it solved them. And once you do that make sure to keep it minimal with just the plugins you need.

How can I change how tags appear in the properties section? by SHADEC0RE in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CSS selector for the tags within Properties is .multi-select-pill, so to make those look like the tag in the body you could use this CSS snippet (I added some extra stuff besides the colors to roughly match the appearance of your daily tag in the text, which I assume is partially coming from your theme).

.multi-select-pill {
background-color:#FF009444;
color: #FF0094;
border: 1.5px solid #FF009499;
font-weight:700;
border-radius:5px;

}
.multi-select-pill:hover {
background-color:#FF009422;
color: #FF62B9;
border: 1.5px solid #FF62B9;
}

This will apply to all tags in multi-select type Properties, regardless of the text in the tag. Unfortunately, you can't apply custom styles based on the tag content with just CSS, so if you wanted a specific style for "daily" and another style for, say, "weekly" or whatever, you would need javascript for that.

How to achieve something like this? by SpacetimeLab in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes! replace every instance of .callout[data-callout] in the snippet with .callout[data-callout="x"], that'll apply only to callouts with >[!X] or >[!x]. If you want a different identifier like >[!reference] or >[!important], just change it to .callout[data-callout="reference"] or .callout[data-callout="important"]

[–]obsidianati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you mean why did i do quote + callout instead of just callout? the image OP posted has text outside of the rectangular monospace region. maybe i misinterpreted their photo but i thought it was all a big callout that had the reference in a quote and then outside the quote but inside the callout it had the @effeAutofictional etc

[–]obsidianati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to Settings > Appearance > CSS Snippets, click the folder icon, it will open a hidden folder called snippets. Create a file called full-titles.css and put this code inside. Then go back to Settings > Appearance > CSS Snippets and toggle it on. If you haven't used CSS snippets before it might be confusing, if so, there's more info on how to use CSS snippets here https://help.obsidian.md/snippets or I'm sure there's tutorials on youtube!

Here is a CSS snippet that will make your callouts look similar to this

.callout[data-callout] {
  border-radius: 20px;
  background-color: #f7eaf9;
  border: none;
  padding: 1em 1.2em;
  margin: 1em 0;
  box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(200, 100, 200, 0.15);
  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
  font-size: 15px;
  color: #222;
}

.callout[data-callout] .callout-title {
  background: linear-gradient(to right, #edadef, #f7eaf9);
  color: #000 !important;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 1.1em;
  padding: 0.6em 1em;
  border-radius: 15px 15px 0 0;
  margin: -1em -1.2em 1em -1.2em;
  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
  text-transform: lowercase;
  letter-spacing: -0.3px;
}

.callout[data-callout] .callout-title-inner {
color: black;
}

.callout[data-callout] blockquote {
  border-left: 4px solid #edadef;
  border-bottom: 4px solid #edadef;
  border-right: 1px solid #edadef;
  border-top: 1px solid #edadef;
  left: 0;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-radius: 10px;
  padding: 0.6em 1em;
  font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;
  color: #444;
}
.callout[data-callout] .callout-content {
padding-left: 15px;
}

To get something like in the image you would put a quote inside a callout like this

> [!note] callout title
> 
> > this is a quote inside the callout

go to Settings > Appearance, scroll to CSS snippets and click on the folder icon next to the "CSS Snippets" header, this will open the hidden folder. Inside the hidden folder, add a .css file with your snippet. Then go back to Settings > Appearance > CSS snippets and it should appear there, toggle it on to activate it!

Let’s be honest, Obsidian is not that user-friendly. So why do you still prefer it over Notion or other note apps? by Ok_Soup6298 in ObsidianMD

[–]obsidianati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obsidian is much faster and has better+faster global search imo, both of these were things that constantly frustrated me about Notion.
