Overview

Obsidian Front Matter Tag Wizard

Tired of having to type # to get tag autocompletion in your Obsidian note front matter? I feel your pain. This plugin enables tag autocompletion in your front matter...and beautifully formats those same tags to boot!

Features

  • Enables unprefixed Tag autocompletion in front matter!
  • Fully supports multiline tags!
  • Optional auto-formatting for tags (default: enabled)!

Getting Started

This plugin has been submitted to Obsidian for review, but in the meantime it can be installed for testing via the BRAT plugin.

  1. Install BRAT
  2. Go to the Obsidian42 - BRAT options tab
  3. Click Add Beta plugin and enter the folling URL:
https://github.com/Tohsig/obsidian-front-matter-tag-wizard
  1. Open the Community Plugins tab
  2. Search for Front Matter Tag Wizard and enable the plugin.

Done! You should immediately get tag autocompletion and autoformatting in the front matter of your notes.

Auto-formatting

The built in auto-formatting is enabled by default and only affects front matter tags. No need to worry about the rest of your content. It will trigger automatically whenever you select an autocomplete suggestion (via enter or mouseclick), or when your cursor leaves the tags: list in your front matter.

When it runs, the auto-formatter will remove duplicate tags and then standardize tag formatting according to these options:

Option Description Default
Enable Auto-formatting Enable/Disable auto-formatting completely enabled
Auto-format Mode Controls whether tags are put on a single line or multiple lines Single Line
Remove Extra Characters Removes # and " characters from your front matter tags enabled

Roadmap

  • Add an option to sort front matter tags alphabetically.
  • Allow autoformatter to edit background notes.
  • Get some saner YAML parsing in here.
  • Add "Format front matter tags" to quick switcher.

    Tag Auto-formatting - Problems

    First of all this is a great addition!

    I have recently started having some issues with the Tag Auto-formatting option enabled is just messes up all the templates and other text. It would be great if it could just auto-format the tags section and not touch the other parts of the text.

    Example of the problem with version 0.2.0:
