A maintained and customized fork of the Highlightr plugin by chetachi.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates1

This is an active fork of chetachi's original Highlightr Plugin. For details on the original features, demo, and changelog, please reference the original repo.

What's New in 2.0.0

This fork has been completely overhauled from the ground up to provide a robust, fast, and native Obsidian experience.

Core Optimizations & Features:

  • Native Markdown Syntax (==text=={Color}): Replaced the invasive <mark> HTML injection with clean, native Markdown highlighting. Your notes remain highly legible in raw text and stay fully compatible with Obsidian's core parser.
  • Modern Floating Menu: The floating toolbar has been redesigned with sleek, customizable circular buttons. It now tracks your selection perfectly, appearing only when needed to keep your workflow fast and uninterrupted.
  • Smart Eraser Tool 🧹: The highlight removal logic is now incredibly intelligent. You no longer need to perfectly select a highlight to remove it. Simply place your cursor anywhere inside a highlight, or drag across multiple overlapping highlights, and click the erase button to cleanly strip the formatting.
