  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates3

this plugins is heavily inspired by the Waypoint obsidian plugin, intended to be used without Folder Notes, but offering a similar experience by defining Anchor-Notes with regex.

Usage

You use regex to define your Anchor-Notes, only notes that match the regex can contain Anchors

Otherwise, the anchor functionality is basically a clone of Waypoint:

  • %% Anchor %% triggers an Anchor to spawn.
  • %% Anchor Start %% and %% Anchor End %% mark the bounds of the Anchor.

Disclaimer

  • I have used AI to develop this plugin, even though i have reviewed the code pretty thoroughly, expect unexpected behavior or bugs.
  • If you come across and bugs, feel free to open an issue
  • I am not affiliated with the original creator of Waypoint.
  • Build from source
    1. clone the repository git clone https://github.com/julius-gmeinder/anchor-notes.git
    2. install dependencies npm install
    3. build the plugin npm run build
    4. copy the anchor-notes folder into your plugins folder
