Hi,

This is to announce the availability of Obsidian-Typo, a modification package for Obsidian.

Obsidian-Typo implements a number of typographical improvements, mostly addressing whitespace around headlines and between paragraphs, itemisations and enumerations.

The package is provided as a set of CSS snippets.

Installing Obsidian-Typo is entirely reversible. Using it will not alter existing Markdown source texts in any way.

Obsidian-Typo consists only of style sheets for the display layer of Obsidian. There are no scripts involved; the behaviour is reproducible and deterministic. All logic is expressed as styles; the implementation is as concise as possible.

The CSS files are provided in the project’s repo on GitHub (link given below), along with a more detailed description including rendering examples. The repo also contains a reference documentation as a zipped Obsidian vault.

The CSS code is MIT-licensed, the documentation is covered by CC-BY.

May it be beneficial to the beauty of your documents.

The README of the abovementioned GitHub repo has seen some significant restructuring and clarification.

There now is a direct comparison with and without using Obsidian-Typo at the beginning of the README.

The style sheets for Obsidian provided by Obsidian-Typo have not been altered, and are ready for use as before.

This change has been undertaken as it seems that the repo has received some attention, and I’d like to reduce the barrier for actually downloading and using the CSS snippets. May Obsidian-Typo improve the rendering not only on my own desktop.
