Fill in the Blank (FITB)

Use --magic-- to render inline text as blank line(s) instead.

Great for educators and students alike who use Obsidian.md to write and print notes. Use --magic-- to render inline text as blank line(s) instead.

Usage

Simply wrap text in double dashes (e.g. Fill in the --Blank--?). When the text is rendered it will now appear as blank line(s) (e.g. Fill in the __________?). The FITB markdown post-processor will transform headings, paragraphs, and even code blocks inline. The FITB plugin provides a quick and easy way to toggle text inline. Simply highlight the desired text and select the FITB icon in the ribbon, or bind the fill-in-the-blank:toggle command to a hotkey.

To enable or disable FITB while still allowing the post-processor to consume the syntax, add the following snippet to your document's frontmatter.

---
fitb: false

⚠️ You may need to reopen/reload the preview window to see frontmatter changes take effect.
