These requests are simply for users to be able to define the beginning and end of blocks rather than have them always set by predefined rules.

@Dor

I think that the minute that block references were added to Obsidian, the question of exactly how blocks should be defined was up for discussion and requests.

I am reminded of the excellent work by @Pseudonium on the Obsidian to Anki script. To summarize a series of posts from that long thread, it developed over time to include different methods of defining what a “block” of text is as far as that script is concerned.

It started out as predefined markers - literally START and END - but has progressed to being able to use headings and the text following them as well as custom regex expressions to let you define what constitutes a “block”.

I think I agree with @Dor in the sense it feels like there is room for advancing the definition of a block from the current single method to something more diverse, potentially all the way to allowing custom definitions.
