Making Obsidian Really Work

While documenting with Obsidian and Github Markdown, following tips have been most useful:

Headings...

are H1 to H6, use # sign the number of times you want the heading type e.g. #### is for H4

Linking... 

  • to a document: type `[[`, a list of documents you can link to appears
  • to a heading in another document: type `[[`, a list of documents you can link to appears, select the document to list, the use `#` sign, the headings that can be linked appears, just click the heading to link to
  • to a text block in another document: type `[[`, a list of documents you can link to appears, select the document to link to, the use `^` sign, the text blocks that can be linked appears, just click the text block to link to
  • to a heading in another document: type `[[`, a list of documents you can link to appears, select the document that is currently being edited, the use `#` sign, the headings that can be linked appears, just click the heading to link to
  • to a text block within the document: similar to anchor tags, type `[[`, a list of documents you can link to appears, select the document that you are currently editing, list of text blocks in the document appears, select the text block to link to
  • to an image

            ![[AbsolutePathOfImage]]

  • to an image with an alternate name to display

            ![AlternameName](./relative/path/to/imageFileName)

  • to an image and resize

            ![[AbsolutePathOfImage|500]]

Using tags

#FollowedByNoSpace is a tag, used in search and in generating automated knowledge graph management

Arrows

  • Up arrow (↑): ↑ 
  • Down arrow (↓): ↓ 
  • Left arrow (←): ← 
  • Right arrow (→): → 
  • Double headed arrow (↔): ↔

Colouring the text...

  • View developer console --> (on Mac: ⌘ + option + i)
  • And then edit CSS elements when it becomes necessary

Superscript or Subscript

  • Prefer to use latex formats
    • Superscript ^
    • Subscript _
OR
  • In the developer console, use html tags 
    • <sup>some text</sup>
    • <sub>some other test</sub>

How to...

Make YouTube videos run faster

Open Google Chrome
Ctrl + Shift + J - opens Developer Tools, ensure you are on Console tab
On the prompt copy and paste script below:

document.getElementsByTagName("video") [0].playbackRate = 2.5

Instead of playbackRate = 2.5, you can set any other floating number between 1.00 to 4.00

Create a rss feed for "The Thlog"

https://thethlog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Replace "thethlog" with name of any blog on blogspot, use it for another blog hosted on blogspt. Now, add it to a feed URL to an RSS reader (e.g. Feedly) OR be more creative with GPT.
