Describe the bug Since Obsidian 1.6.3, all the mentions start with the writing ir="auto">_, like something wrong is happening in the rendering. Also, when editing any table in Obsidian, the linked mentions show up in the cell.

To Reproduce Open any note with linked mentions; edit a table in a page with linked mentions

Expected behavior No ir="auto">_, no linked mentions showing up in tables

I'm experiencing the same issue and I'm also really sad because I really love this plugin.

This plugin has been discontinued, see https://github.com/ivan-lednev/better-search-views for an analogous functionality.

I've tried Better Search Views and just wish I could achieve the simplicity and layout of Influx with it. The minimal aesthetic is quicker to visually parse for me and really supports the concept of aggregate notes I use Influx for. I see you're the dev on Better Search Views; thanks for your work on it. Any chance of being able to emulate the clean simplicity of Influx?

Can you describe what specific elements of the design you have in mind when saying 'the clean simplicity of Influx'?

I think it's really about information density in the backlinks section of individual notes. When using something like a bulleted list with hierarchy, a few entries can really expand and consume a lot of space. I think a few styling tweaks like font-size and indent depth would resolve a lot of it. The two-column layout from influx (note title on the left, content on the right) allows for a quick scan and quick identification of individual notes. Additionally, the headline and bullet list icons in Better Search Views create some visual noise (just for my use case) that breaks from the original formatting of the text. Finally, when a link is included in a headline or the initial list item (like "Web" on the entry from 3/27, it doesn't render as a link, but instead includes brackets. Hopefully the screenshot helps illustrate (excuse the messy redactions). These minor things could clean up how my eye encounters the info and help compress it for my use case. Thanks for asking!
