Obsidian Plugins Annotations
Obsidian Plugins Annotations is a plugin for Obsidian that allows users to add personal annotations to each installed plugin. This is particularly useful for keeping track of why certain plugins are installed and their specific use cases.
Features
- Add personal annotations to any installed plugin in the settings pane.
- Annotations can be in the form of simple text, Markdown note (preamble line
markdown:
), and HTML-formatted text (preamble line html:
).
- Annotations are saved persistently and can be edited at any time.
- Annotations are displayed directly below the plugin information.
- Detailed instructions how to edit the annotations are provided in the setting pane of the plugin.
Installation
- Download the latest release from the Releases page.
- Extract the downloaded package and copy only the following files to your Obsidian plugins folder:
<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/plugins-annotations
:
main.js
styles.css
manifest.json
- Enable the plugin in the "Community plugins" settings pane.
Usage
- Open the "Community plugins" settings pane.
- You will see a text area below each installed plugin where you can add your personal annotation.
- Annotations are automatically saved and will be displayed whenever you open the settings pane.
