Tufte Backlinks

PleiadesMPleiadesM18 downloads

Renders Linked/Unlinked mention snippets as formatted Markdown in the Backlinks pane and the in-document backlinks block.

Add to Obsidian
  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates2

An Obsidian plugin that renders Linked/Unlinked mention snippets as formatted Markdown in the Backlinks pane and the in-document backlinks block: headings sit at body size, the backlink reference itself is bold, underlined, and accent red, and match highlights are preserved. The global Search pane is left untouched.

Part of Tufte for Obsidian — a theme and plugin suite carrying Edward Tufte's book design into Obsidian. Development, documentation, and issues live in the main repository; this repository exists to distribute the plugin through the Obsidian community directory.

Install

  • Manual: download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release into YourVault/.obsidian/plugins/tufte-backlinks/, then enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins.
  • Pairs best with the Tufte theme.
