Evaluating markdown in frontmatter property

Developers: Plugin & API
1

I am using the Markdown Furigana plugin for some of my note taking, which works very well, creating <ruby> tags from syntax like this {二倍|に|ばい}.

I have written a small unrelated script that inserts some custom dataview data + HTML in my note, called with $= await dv.view('myscript')somewhere in the note.

At some point I tried adding the Furigana syntax as a frontmatter property and adding it to the note alongside my other custom HTML elements, by setting innerHTML = file.frontmatter.furigana. However, this doesn’t work because the property is evaluated as a JS object and prints “[Object object]”. If I put the syntax in quotes it just prints the string literal, without being evaluated by the plugin.

Is there a way to tell Obsidian (and therefore the plugin) to evaluate this property as Markdown?

Just adding (couldn’t find an Edit button), that quoting internal link Markdown in properties does work (property: "[[note]]"), creating a valid link in tables or other Dataview output. Is it a plugin limitation?

Regarding Obsidian itself, there is no evaluating a string property as markdown.
We don’t support it (see).
Single links, in both wikilink and markdown format are detected, are a special case but that’s it.

Plugin developers can define custom properties types.
Alternatively, you could process the regular string you get.
