Convert to Image #44

Closed Developer-Mike closed 10 months ago

Developer-Mike commented 10 months ago

What would you like to be added?

It would be cool if you could convert the smiles formula to an SVG or PNG.

Why is this needed?

This would simplify the process of exporting notes from obsidian.

Yeah converting to image would be a useful feature. However, I am not quite sure if this is related to markdown file exporting, as we can already generate PDF documents containing the structures simply through the official md export. Can you explain more on your use case?

My goal is to export them to a PowerPoint presentation. I currently need to open developer tools in Obsidian, then I need to copy the SVG and after that, I need to convert the SVG to a PNG because SVG fonts don't work in PowerPoint. The molecule isn't correctly centered if I would take a screenshot. I think this would be a rather simple QOL addition.

Thanks for the clarification, I can get it now. It would be a straight forward implementation.
