How to remove the spell-check underline from linked page/headings when using # in links

[Smithy]

What I’m trying to do

When I link to a page, and then to a heading, I use the hashtag symbol, as you do. However the spell-check function underlines the ‘word/hashtag/word’ combination as a mis-spellt word. Is there any way to remove this?

Heres what I mean. First image with cursor in the link, second when clicked outside the link:

Things I have tried

I added ‘asterisk#asterisk’ in the Custom Dictionary (in Win10 - User > AppData > Roaming > obsidian), the only thing I can think of, but it doesnt work

Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks

Hi Everyone!

I’m bumping this up in the hopes that someone sees it

I remember this post. I have the same problem. I do nothing about it. I don’t want to add these ‘bad#words’ to my custom dictionary.

For the spellchecker ‘abc#def’ is one string which will invariably be missing from the dictionary sets.

[gino_m]

Of course, I imagine some CSS can be used to target the spellchecker lines on these headings. Someone might chip in sooner or later.

Unfortunately there’s nothing there to target for the spell-check underline. It’s coming from CodeMirror.

If I dig up anything, I’ll report back.

[gino_m]

You are right.
I admit my head was somewhere else when I entered the second post.
You can see that by the word used by me ‘heading’.

I’m not seeing any spellcheck underline for these:

Interesting [[heading-test1#h5 heading]]
Interesting [[Walks#Presentation]]

Not sure why it’s there.

You could also try using display text in the link.

Hi People, thanks for you feedback

@gino_m

I don’t want to add these ‘bad#words’ to my custom dictionary.

Agreed, plus it’s just extra ‘time-wasting’ work

@ariehen sorry I don’t understand anything about CodeMirror

Yes, this is perhaps the easiest solution.

I was hoping there might be a simple fix such as * # * (without the spaces) in the custom dictionary that I hadn’t thought of

@ariehen Maybe Obsidian could build it in to a future update

[Smithy]

Yes, I wonder why you’re not getting the underline in your links???

I believe where a number is involved, there is no underline, as in your first example. But in your second example you have no underline, whereas I would have.

Strange. Maybe it’s something in my vault, I’ll investigate, Thanks!

@Smithy

I’ll investigate, Thanks!

I played around and I’m happy to say I found the solution!

@ariehen strange how you don’t get them but I do?!?

The solution: I assumed the * would be a ‘wildcard’, like it is in search engines. However, it isn’t. I added a silly number of them (asterisks), and now the red underline is gone (waves goodbye)

[ariehen]

Yeah, not sure. How do the links look in the Sandbox vault?

In any event, glad you found a workaround for now.

@ariehen

Err sorry, what is the ‘Sandbox’ vault and where do I find it?

Hmm, didn’t realise the sandbox vault was there

Anyhow, the red underline does not show up in the vault, I guess suggesting its some conflict in my vault, however I’ve solved it (or as you say found a workaround) so that’s the main thing TYVM
