Styling

The default Obsidian theme (and most themes) create excess whitespace around transcluded verses. I use the following CSS in a snippet to make notes with transcluded scriptures look nicer.

.markdown-embed-title { display:none; }
.markdown-preview-view .markdown-embed-content p:first-child { margin: 0 !important;}
.markdown-preview-view .markdown-embed-content p:last-child { margin: 0 !important;}

.markdown-preview-view .markdown-embed, .markdown-embed .markdown-preview-view {
    padding:0px 15px 0px 3px !important;
    margin:0 !important;
    max-height: unset !important;
}

/* the link on the top right corner */
.markdown-embed-link {
    top: 3px !important;
    right: 5px !important;
    padding:0 !important;
    margin:0 !important;
}
