2 years ago Can definitely replicate this behaviour - definitely noticeable in e.g. YouTube videos, which tend to heavily use the pipe | character on their titles.
In case it may be useful, the Obsidian extension Auto Link Title has worked out the logic to parse titles containing any of the characters * " \ / < > : | ?, replacing them with a whitespace character.

2 years ago Yes I use Auto Link Title already and it works fine. Would be useful to be able to replicate that logic if possible.

2 years ago Same for me. Doesn't work on medium.com and on most of web site.
Describe the bug
Not clipping pages with illegal characters in title.
The extension very often fails to create the note in Obsidian. I can see it opens Obsidian but then fails.
I can see in the console that it gives the following error
'File name cannot contain any of the following characters: * " \ / < > : | ?'
all the examples I have noted have these special characters in the title.
I have the extension configured to clip the note to
@Inbox/{title} - {date}
I guess that is the root cause but not sure if there is anyway to prevent the error while keeping the title as part of the note title.
Is it possible to define a valid character to use as a replacement for the illegal characters in the note title?
Or is there a workaround? At the moment I have to only use the {datetime} to create the note title but that adds extra steps to the note creation process.
Appreciate any thoughts,
Cheers
