Announcing the Obsidian Postfix Plugin

Just published the Obsidian Postfix plugin (GitHub - bhagyas/obsidian-postfix-plugin: A postfix plugin for Obsidian). It lets you change the formatting after you have typed the text. This is helpful when you are type your text first and then decide what to use for formatting.

Some examples are below.

  1. ### - Heading level 3
    • Type My Heading.### and then hit space to convert to a level 3 heading: ### My Heading
  2. ## - Heading level 2
    • Type My Heading.## and then hit space to convert to a level 2 heading: ## My Heading
  3. # - Heading level 1
    • Type My Heading.# and then hit space to convert to a level 1 heading: # My Heading
  4. - - Unordered list item
    • Type My item.- and then hit space to convert to an unordered list item: - My item
  5. > - Blockquote
    • Type My quote.> and then hit space to convert to a blockquote: > My quote
  6. + - Unordered list item (alternative symbol)
    • Type My item.+ and then hit space to convert to an unordered list item using an alternative symbol: + My item
  7. [ ] - Incomplete task list item
    • Type My task.[ ] and then hit space to convert to an incomplete task list item: [ ] My task
  8. [x] - Completed task list item
    • Type My task.[x] and then hit space to convert to a completed task list item: [x] My task

These templates allow you to quickly insert common markdown formatting symbols by typing the text followed by a dot and the corresponding symbol, and then hitting space.

Any suggestions for the templates are welcome as an issue filed on the repository.

I hope everyone would find this helpful.
