Have obsidian consistently capitalize the first word in a new list item. If you end the item’s first sentence with a period, subsequent sentences are capitalized correctly.
This happens consistently with a bullet lists, and occasionally with numbered lists.
Things I have tried
Searched the help docs. Searched go duck go. Searched the Obsidian forum. Looked at the troubleshooting page.
However, I found the same behavior in the sandbox vault: while normal paragraphs always started with a capital letter, list items are usually not. Occasionally one is capitalized, and after that one, subsequent items are capitalized.
I also, one by one, turned off any plug-in that may have anything to do with text entry or formatting.
I don’t think it’s a setting in my macOS, since I tried this in Apple Notes and list items capitalized perfectly.
Can you do a test here in the forum, and see what happens? And mention which browser you’re testing it in. (I’d say, test in a browser that isn’t Safari, because a Mac browser might work where others won’t.)
None of the MacOS autocorrection seems to work in Firefox browser for me. And not Obsidian either. So I wonder, maybe this is an upstream thing with Electron (Chromium, or maybe browsers in general).
Apparently, in this forum you have to type a list and then select it and click the bullets Icon.
So, you can’t duplicate hitting return at the end of a bulleted item to create the next bulleted item.
Do you know if Obsidian it’s supposed to auto-capitalize the first letter of a new bulleted item? Or does all auto-cap come from the OS?
