Fix large screen visualization for tables and content

[D-7]

Use case or problem

Right now, all displayed content in Obsidian has a lot of unused lateral margin. Why don’t you just follow the VSCode philosophy? I write big tables, and it’s impossible to see them correctly in Obsidian.md. Instead, I use Visual Studio Code.

I want to maximize the screen. Here, the resolution is 1920x1080, but if the screen is wider, there is even more space to render content.

Proposed solution

The solution is to change the page layout so that it does not render the lateral margin. The margin should only appear if I want to print on DIN A4 paper.

Current workaround (optional)

My workaround is to simply open VSCode and edit from there. Then, render the Markdown with Ctrl+Shift+V.

Settings > Editor > Readable line length → OFF for full width.

You can also use css snippets to change the width between the default 700px (readable line length on) and 100% (readable line length off) of the window or the width on a per-note basis. Some themes have options built-in, no css needed.

Thanks, I didn’t know that option in settings. And also good to know that using CSS snippets.

For me this improves a lot the way to edit and read content.
