In Obs097 | Highlightr Plugin－Enrich the Appearance of Obsidian Notes, I introduced the Highlightr plugin, which uses standard HTML <mark> tags to create prominent styles. Today, I'll introduce Painter, which offers more configuration options. Those looking to try a new plugin (Painter and Fast Text Color) might want to check these out.

1. Painter: Using the <mark> tag

1.1. Key Settings

  1. Choose highlight method: css-classes, inline-style
    The inserted <mark> tag uses either CSS classes or the inline style attribute.

  2. Choose highlight style: <mark style="background-color:#b48ead">6</mark> styles available

  3. Choose highlight colors: Select colors and transparency

    gh|700

Each color is configured as a command, allowing quick insertion via the <mark style="background-color:#a3be8c">Command Palette</mark> or assigned hotkeys.

2. Fast Text Color: Using ~= and =~ Markers

Uses custom Markdown syntax to specify the foreground color of text.

Syntax

<code>={color_code}Text to display=</code>

2.1. Usage Example

={red}RED text= ={blue}BLUE text= ={orange}Yellow=

A menu pops up when the cursor enters the code syntax.

gh|200

Executing the Change Text Color command opens a color menu. Selecting a color inserts the corresponding syntax.

2.2. Settings
