A Structure Generator Based on Variables

Problem

This Feature would be useful to create structures such as paging, user defined tables as well as diagrams adapted to the user. I had this idea because i use Obsidan as a notebook and before i start typing any page i manually create a structure to that page so i can simply insert the contents to the right place. But with this feature would be easier to do that so.

Solution

A good solution would be like this:

  • a prefix + structure name and then press tab-key to generate the defined structure.

    Eg:. %3xList —> After tab-key pressed

                                  1. 
                              2. 
                              3.

Then the user can just simply insert the elements to the list generated by the structure.

Creating Structures

To Create the structures, the user can create a file to define multiple structures to be generated. This structures can include Headers, Lists and all features included in Obsidian:

File → Structures
Content:
%3xList =

  1. \n
  2. \n
  3. \n
2

I think you can go along way already by combining Templates/Templater and Hotkeys for Templates (if I’m understanding ‘structures’ correctly?). Text Expander might serve your use case as well.
