Control Characters

Plugin for Obsidian

Show control characters in edit mode.

Only show characters in selection

By default, the plugin will show all characters in a note. But you can configure it to only show control characters when selecting text.

You can also overwrite this behaviour with the cc-selection property.

Overwriting settings for a note

You can also change the settings for a single note, by using Properties.

So for example, the following note will only have the new line characters.

---
cc: true
cc-tab: false
cc-newline: true
cc-space: false
---
Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit.

Customization

You can customize most of the styling with the Style Settings plugin.
