Formatting asterisks in text and callouts

Just remembered that you can also set this up in Obsidian only.

  1. Create a template that contains just the asterisk you want to use
  2. Whenever you need that asterisk, call up the insert template modal (I use CMD /) and insert your template–asterisk. If the template is called aaaa it should be the first template in the modal. For me, CMD / and then Enter will insert the asterisk that doesn’t format anything in Obsidian
  3. If you use Templater, you can even assign a hotkey to insert the aaaa template immediately. I just set this up on my Mac as CTRL OPT CMD A. When I press that hotkey combo, I get my ∗.
  4. ∗∗Yippee∗∗
