Just taking notes instead of wanting all in one, it is recommended not to watch too many tutorials, otherwise the effort you spend on tinkering with this software may be greater than the effort you spend on taking notes (boring play at will), if you want to simply get a purer markdown note, read on.
Chapter 1: Themes#
Tinkering Appropriately
It is recommended to use the default theme, which is similar to the styles of GitHub README and various blogging platforms. There won't be much difference when sharing.
Chapter 2: Plugins#
Less Tinkering, Here are 5 recommendations that can bring the simplest and easiest experience of using markdown. Remember, the effort spent on tinkering with software must not exceed the effort spent on taking notes.
Plugin 1: Recent Files#
This plugin is very useful and allows you to see the recently opened articles.
Plugin 2: File Explorer Note Count#
It shows how many files are in a folder.
Plugin 3: Editing Toolbar#
Very useful, it integrates common markdown functions into a small toolbar, similar to the toolbar at the top of Word.
Plugin 4: Advanced Tables#
It is difficult to create tables in Obsidian's markdown. This plugin enhances the table input function. You can easily create tables by entering a | followed by content and then using the Enter and Tab keys. Of course, it also comes with a toolbar.
Plugin 5: Image Auto Upload Plugin#
Using a markdown image hosting service is important. We certainly hope that when we copy an image to the note-taking software, the image can be automatically uploaded to the image hosting service, and then there will be a link in the note-taking software. Fortunately, Obsidian has this plugin, which can be used in conjunction with PicGo, making it very convenient.
