Extra Markdown Commands

---

ℹ️ This plugin is officially deprecated, since I have made a much better plugin that includes most of this plugin's functionality: Smarter Markdown Hotkeys. For HTML tags, you can use the much more customizable Wrap with Shortcuts Plugin.

---

Obsidian plugin that adds various commands, e.g. for __bold__ or <cite>.

Commands added

Command	Effect
Underscore Bold	__foobar__
Underscore Italics	_foobar_
HTML Comment	<!-- foobar -->
<cite> Tags	<cite>foobar</cite>
<aside> Tags	<aside>foobar</aside>
<u> Tags (underline)	<u>foobar</u>
Multicolor Highlight 11	_==foobar==_
Multicolor Highlight 2	__==foobar==__

💡 If you want to replace the default commands from Obsidian, remember to remove their hotkey binding before changing the hotkeys from this plugin. Example for Underscore Bold:

1. Remove the hotkey cmd/ctrl + B² for the default command Toggle Bold.
2. Assign cmd/ctrl + B as the hotkey for the command Underscore Bold.

Installation

This plugin is available in Obsidian's Community Plugin Browser: Settings → Community Plugins → Browse → Search for "Extra Markdown Commands"
