I use Obsidian now more as a “Tips” app where I store “How To” documents I write (for example, How to do XYZ in Obsidian) and then use Apple Notes as my “normal” notes app. So in this case I would like to have the ffmpeg documentation available in Obsidian, next to other ffmpeg tips.
Plain text would be an option, if Obsidian was able to read those files, but I guess it can’t? At least I tried to move a .txt file into my vault and it didn’t show up in the browser. Am I missing something?
It seems that other people kind of wish this was a feature:
And while I was writing this reply, I installed a plugin that does just this! It would be great if it was a native thing, but this plugin seems to do the job:
My goal was not to remove all markdown. I just wanted to find what’s markdown and what’s not, because in an long document, maybe I don’t mind if something is bold or italic, but if they are using something else that is not as obvious and it affects readability, then I would like it to be “searchable”, if that makes sense?
Anyway, that plugin is doing the job.
Appreciate your help!
