I have just started using Obsidian for taking and organizing notes for my research. I would like to set up my vault so that certain text enclosed within two types of brackets (currently planning to use pointed and curly brackets) and within quotation marks is each colored differently. Thus, the special types of text, each with its own unique color. This schema should apply to all notes within my research vault.
I’ve done some browsing and believe I have learned that the “best” way to do this is with custom css snippets. But so far, I haven’t wrapped my head around exactly how to do this. (This is likely a simple thing, and I’m just being dense. But I hope someone here will take pity on me as a newbie to Obsidian!) Will someone please guide me through the process?
If you wanted to hijack **bold**, _italic_, ***bold italic***, ==highlights==, %%comments%%, combinations of those, and maybe one or two more built-in options, you could easily (more or less) do that with CSS alone. However, CSS can’t target arbitrary text (e.g., make all instances of {fish} a salmon color). For that, you need a plugin as well.
