Why this plugin? #2

I thought of using obsidian as a markdown editor for my blog. Have faced problem in handing tags, links and images.

Solved tags using a bash script.

Then I search for plugin support for wikilinks. I found this and pelican-obsidian

This plugin also gave credit to that.

If that plugin solves the purpose, what is this plugin solves? Just want to know.

Hi @arulrajnet!

This plugin is part of my effort to create a Pelican site with a base of my Obsidian vault. jonathan-s' plugin extends the default Markdown reader to add processing for Wiki-style links. This plugin, however, is not part of the reader, and so you can use this plugin alone, and with a reader of your choice.

I've also made a CommonMark reader (minchin.pelican.readers.commonmark), and the two pair well together when working with an Obsidian vault.

Why separate? It's easier for me to solve smaller problems, so this way I could solve the problem of wikilinks, and later solve the problem of CommonMark (which is just slightly different from the default Python Markdown....).

Hope this makes sense. Feel free to propose improvements to the plugin's readme to help other understand too. And let me know if you run into issues using this!
