Inline render and Annotating molecules #42

Closed craldaz closed 7 months ago

craldaz commented 11 months ago

What would you like to be added?

I would like to be able to make tables of molecules using Markdown tables

Name Data Molecule
propane 30 smiles CCC

Or using dataview tables e.g.

Propane.md Name:: propane Smiles:: CCC Data:: 30

It would also be nice to annotate molecules for example if i gave obsidian chem a list of smiles with multiple columns it would interpret these as names, or other info -- this may be the simplest way to implement something immediately.

Why is this needed?

More powerful visualization of chemical structures and data.

Thanks for the idea presented in #43, here's a way using inline DataviewJS to simulate a code block, where you can have the structure rendered in the table cells.

Insipred by the inline DQL and DataviewJS, I now have a clearer design for inline-smiles, with the prefix configurable.

Thanks

Hi @craldaz! I saw your feedback in #43. If you like the flexible feeling powered by the dataview than you can follow that syntax. Otherwise I'm working on a direct inline annotation for smiles, something like $smiles=c1cccccc1 and the prefix would be configurable.
