I already reviewed in a previous article the awesome Canvas Candy, a set of tools that allows you to modify canvas card styles. But to change the cards, you have to manually add the required CSS classes. This is where the Canvas Candy Menu plugin comes in handy. It allows you to modify canvas card styles through the canvas menu. It comes with several simple styles and it allows you to extend or override the default style menu using your own menu configuration and CSS snippets.

You can set up a frontmatter property to mark completed notes (e.g. complete: true ), find empty headings (check if the heading has content) and mark the file as incomplete, or place an incomplete placeholder ( %% INCOMPLETE(custom message) %%). You can see the list of incomplete notes in the sidebar, showing the reason for being incomplete.

The CalcCraft plugin allows you to add formulas to tables and perform calculations on them. The plugin supports a range of functions, including matrix operations, conditional statements, and error handling. It also includes features such as highlighting involved cells and customizable colors for dark and light themes.

You can reference the cells with [a-z][0–9]+ notation, so the top-left cell will be a1, or column-row notation [0-9]+c[0-9]r, where c stands for column and r stands for row. So, cell b3 can also be referenced with 2c3r (column2, row3). You can also use relative references by adding a + or - before the number (=b+3r cell at column b , 3 rows down). Let’s say we wanted to sum all values from the current column, starting from the second row to the row above the current. We could use this: =sum(+0c2:+0c-1r), sum 0 columns to the right, row 2, to 0 columns to the right, 1 row above the current one.

The Adjacency Matrix Exporter plugin for Obsidian allows you to export the adjacency matrix of your vault in two modes: Absolute and Normalized.

The adjacency matrix represents the connections between notes in your vault, with each cell in the matrix representing the number of links between two notes.

In Absolute mode, the weights of the edges in the adjacency matrix are given by the number of connections from one note to another. In Normalized mode, the weight of the edge from note A to note B is divided by the number of total words in note A. This allows for a more balanced representation of the graph, where connections from shorter notes are not overrepresented.

The exported CSV files include the date and time of creation and can be saved in the Vault folder or a specified destination folder.
