Sure! Here’s a simple Obsidian plugin that adds an empty line between each existing line of text in the active document when you run the command. This plugin assumes you have the development environment set up, as described in the previous answer.
1. Write the plugin code: Create a new JavaScript file (e.g., line-spacer-plugin.js) and add the following code:
const { Plugin } = require("obsidian");
class LineSpacerPlugin extends Plugin {
async onload() {
this.addCommand({
id: "add-empty-lines",
name: "Add empty lines between lines",
callback: this.addEmptyLines.bind(this),
});
}
async addEmptyLines() {
const activeView = this.app.workspace.getActiveViewOfType(this.app.plugins.plugins["markdown"].viewType);
if (!activeView) {
return;
}
const editor = activeView.sourceMode.cmEditor;
const doc = editor.getDoc();
const lineCount = doc.lineCount();
editor.operation(() => {
for (let i = lineCount - 1; i > 0; i--) {
doc.replaceRange("\n", { line: i, ch: 0 });
}
});
}
}
module.exports = LineSpacerPlugin;
2. Build the plugin: Use esbuild to bundle the plugin as described in the previous answer:
esbuild line-spacer-plugin.js --outfile=line-spacer-plugin-built.js --bundle --platform=browser
3. Create a manifest file: Create a manifest.json file in the project directory with the following content:
{
"id": "line-spacer-plugin",
"name": "Line Spacer Plugin",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "A plugin that adds an empty line between each existing line of text in the active document.",
"author": "Your Name",
"main": "line-spacer-plugin-built.js",
"minAppVersion": "0.9.20"
}
4. Load the plugin in Obsidian: Follow the steps described in the previous answer to load the plugin in Obsidian.
Once the plugin is loaded, you can use it by opening a document, then go to the command palette (default hotkey: Ctrl/Cmd+P), search for “Add empty lines between lines,” and press Enter. This will add an empty line between each existing line of text in the active document.
