How to create tiles like in Obsidian Sync help

Help

Hi there,
After a couple of days searching, I’ve finally signed up here…

What I want to get rectangular tiles like here:

They resemble a Gallery view in Notion which I migrated from, but look neater. I need this to organize a knowledge base page that I plan to share later through Publish.

I’m 99% sure this should be a native Obsidian feature, without snippets, plugins, and so on. Why I’m almost sure in it is that they publish it in Help Previously, I’ve tried Dataview (too much for me, I’m not an IT guy) and a couple of plugins (they were based on Dataview though).

Thanks in advance for the help!

I’m fairly certain those are a version of Minimal’s list-cards feature.

So, not much work if you are using the Minimal theme, but some CSS required for other themes.

This link is talking about Publish, but the CSS should be usable in your vault (tho may need updating – I haven tried in a while):

The latest version of the cards.css can always be found here. obsidian-minimal/src/scss/features/cards.scss at master · kepano/obsidian-minimal · GitHub

Its a .scss file., but there is no specific SCSS functions (at this time), so the end user can just put these contents in a .css file.

Edit: That said, the Publish version will also work perfectly in Obsidian’s reading view.
