Manifold Redaction

Marks a selected passage as redacted. The Manifold theme draws it as a bar with the words knocked out. Run it again to lift the bar.

Companion plugin for the Manifold theme. It marks a selected passage as redacted, and the theme draws that as a bar with the words knocked out.

The theme renders the bar on its own, so this plugin is only needed to place the marker from the editor. Typing <mark class="redacted">words</mark> by hand works the same.

Install

Copy this folder into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/manifold-redact/, then enable "Manifold Redaction" in Settings, Community plugins. It is plain JavaScript with no build step, and it can also be installed with the BRAT plugin.

Use

  • Select a passage, right-click, choose Redact selection.
  • Or bind a hotkey to "Manifold Redaction: Toggle redaction on the selection".
  • Run it again on the same passage to lift the bar.

In the editor the line you are working on lifts its overlay so the passage can be edited, and the bar closes when the cursor moves away.

Visual marking only: the words stay in the file as plain text.

About
Insert redaction markers around a selection so the Manifold theme draws a bar with the words knocked out. Toggle redaction via context menu or command; editing the line temporarily reveals the text. Keep redaction visual only — words remain in the file.
