Vocabulary Books

vocbooks

You can create a new blank .md file, or designate an existing blank .md file as a vocabulary book. Within the vocaview blocks, you can add words to the vocabulary book or remove words from it. The vocabulary book itself is just another .md file with vocaview blocks.

To use the Vocabulary Books feature:

  1. Go to the settings page of this plugin.
  2. Change the Number of Vocabulary Books setting from 0 to the desired number.
  3. Fill in the Relative Path for each vocabulary book. (Alternatively, you can right-click on an .md file in Obsidian, select Copy Obsidian URL, and paste it as the path.)
  4. Close the settings page and reopen the file with vocaview blocks to refresh the display.

To disable this feature:

  1. Go to the settings page of this plugin.
  2. Change the Number of Vocabulary Books setting back to 0.
  3. Close the settings page and reopen the file with vocaview blocks to refresh the display.

Note: Adding words to or removing words from the vocabulary book will only affect the content of the first vocaview block in the book, and will not affect the rest of the file. You can freely edit the other parts of the vocabulary book file.

Manually installing the plugin

  • Disable obsidian safe mode.
  • Copy over main.js, styles.css, manifest.json to your vault VaultFolder/.obsidian/plugins/your-plugin-id/.
