Book Media Editor

Edit collapsible blocks in place and discuss specific passages in Markdown notes. The desktop plugin works in any vault and uses Obsidian's Live Preview for editing.

Use it

• Type > and a space in an empty line to start a toggle. Use the command palette to insert a toggle heading at level 1, 2, or 3. Click its triangle to fold it. On macOS, you can also use ⌘ + Enter. Shift + Enter also switches the current toggle in the editor.
• Select text and choose 添加批注 (Add comment) from the editor context menu. Click the comment bubble or highlighted text to read, reply, or edit. Each reply has its own edit and delete controls. Open 打开当前笔记的批注 (Open note comments) from the command palette for the full list.
• To style headings and indent their content, add book-media-outline to a note's cssclasses property.
• The optional Work status setting adds a menu for updating a configurable note property. Enable Legacy comments and reload the plugin only if you want it to treat imported n1, n2, and similar footnotes as comments.

Installation

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the same release. Place them in .obsidian/plugins/book-media-editor/ in the target vault, then enable Book Media Editor under Community plugins.

The first release targets Obsidian desktop 1.15.0 or newer. Editing uses Live Preview. The interface currently uses Chinese labels, with bilingual labels for settings.

Storage and privacy

Toggles are Markdown callouts. Comments are footnotes in the same Markdown file. The plugin stores the selected text and replies in a comment attached to the footnote definition. It works offline and does not send notes or comments to a server.

中文

在实时阅览中编辑折叠块，选中文字后右键添加批注。点击高亮或气泡可查看讨论和回复，也可修改或删除单条回复。作品状态菜单和旧 Notion 批注识别均可在设置里开启。数据保存在当前 Markdown 笔记中。
