Notes section (Inside Notes)

[nixguy]

I’m looking for a way to visually differentiate notes (inside notes) ((Why didn’t you people named them pages?))

I’m taking my notes locally from cisco learning platform and on some exam questions you get a small explanation of the answer like a note, but in a box with different bg color. I already searched for this but since the pages are called notes, It’s impossible to find what I’m looking for…

I want to turn this:

into this:

Also, kudos if is there a way I can modify the check box functionality, to just stay marked, and not cross out the text

Try the text below, which uses:

• Blockquotes
• Callouts

Formatting depends on the theme. Any use?

> Software as a service (SaaS) refers to on demand software that is leased from the provider. Platform as a service (PaaS) is when the provider provides the platform for a developer. Infrastructure as a service (laaS) is when key network devices such as routers and firewalls are leased from a provider. Wireless as a service (WaaS) is when a provider provides wireless connectivity at a fixed monthly cost.

So you can nested Callouts, which seems to be what you are looking for, if you dont like the format you can also try it with just a Quote inside the Callout.

Yes I do use a theme, but looks like it worked

But in this case I’m gonna go with the second option from @AssassinBear since it doesn’t hide the note.

Both options are absolute savers and I’ll be using yours on the Azue exam notes

I’ve only been using Obsidian for a few days and the learning curve of the workflow seems a bit steep

Thanks both of you @AssassinBear & @Hampton !

No worries, I now know how to make a collapsable Callout.
I recommend skimming through https://help.obsidian.md/Home and reading through the editing and formating category specifically, most of the different markdown and obsidian specific formatting you can find in there! I’m also pretty new but I thankfully stumbled on the site

modify the check box functionality, to just stay marked, and not cross out the text

This CSS snippet should take care of the checklist strikethrough / line-through in most themes:

body {
    --checklist-done-decoration: none; /* line-through */
}

Also, kudos if is there a way I can modify the check box functionality, to just stay marked, and not cross out the text

I just found this in obsidian doc, to not have the text crossed out you just have to use anything other than x in the checkbox.
Problem is that its an x by default when you click on it, so you will have to check boxes by typing, or use a CSS snippet to change global style as ariehen said.
