FR: Highlight entire line / bullet based on keyword #34

Open ysakols opened 2 years ago

Love this plugin! It would be very cool to be able to dynamically highlight a line based on a keyword, tag, (or emoji).

Example. In my notes, I might add the tag #actionitem or (question). I would love if that entire line of text, rather than just the word, was highlighted to make it easier to find!

thanks!

You can already do this. See my description of the various options here: https://github.com/nothingislost/obsidian-dynamic-highlights/issues/31#issuecomment-1039480068

What you're looking for is the "parent line" toggle. If you turn that on, then the div.cm-line element will receive a class matching your highlighter name.

For your example, you can import this:

{
  "ActionItem": {
    "class": "ActionItem",
    "color": "",
    "regex": false,
    "query": "#actionitem",
    "mark": [
      "line"
    ],
    "css": "div.cm-line.ActionItem {\n  background-color: pink;\n}"
  }
}
