darrenkuro / obsidian-basetag

A lightweight obsidian plugin to render the basename of tags in preview mode.

Obsidian Base Tag Renderer

This plugin renders only the basename for tags while maintaining the nested strucutres elsewhere.

It also appends a new class name (basename-tag) so it's possible to add custom style to it.

This is not actively maintained. As I haven't used Obsidian much, and they kept rolling out new features so it's a bit hard to keep up. I am currently busy with other projects also. Feel free to do a PR if you want to add something. The code structure is very simple. Issues aren't guaranteed to be resolved promptly but I'll try my best.

The custom css applied for the above example -

a.basename-tag[href*="animal"]::before,
span.basename-tag[data-tag*="animal"]::before {
    content: "😍 ";
}
a.basename-tag[href*="cat"]::before,
span.basename-tag[data-tag*="cat"]::before {
    content: "🐱 ";
}
a.basename-tag[href*="dog"]::before,
span.basename-tag[data-tag*="dog"]::before {
    content: "🐶 ";
}
