Ozan's Image in Editor Plugin

GitHub release (latest SemVer) GitHub all releases

Note: As of Version 2.1.3, support for legacy editor has been removed. If you still want to use this plugin with the legacy editor, please manually install Version 2.1.2, which is the latest version compatible with the Legacy editor.

Important: This plugin only supports Source Mode of the new editor starting from Version 2.1.3. If you use Live Preview, this plugin will automatically disable all widgets to avoid any duplicate image, pdf, excalidraw etc.

📕 Brief Explanation

  • Plugin helps you to view images, iframes, PDF Files, excalidraw drawings and transclusions directly under the Editor view without a necessity to switch to Preview mode.
  • The plugin allows you to see both your local images and images from internet.
  • Both Markdown and Wikilinks formats are supported as described below.
  • You can resize the view of images using ALT-TEXT options provided below to ensure that they don't take too much place in your screen as long as it is not needed.

📕 Formats Supported

FORMAT: !(ALT_TEXT)[IMAGE_PATH_OR_NAME]
SAMPLE: ![#x-small](myimage.png)
FORMAT: ![[IMAGE_PATH_OR_NAME|ALT_TEXT]]
SAMPLE: ![[myimage.png|#x-small]]
FORMAT: ![[IMAGE_PATH_OR_NAME]]
SAMPLE: ![[myimage.png]]

Scanned Image Formats : jpg, jpeg, png, gif, svg, bmp, webp

📕 Image View Size

Relative and Absolute Path will give you possibility to add alt text for the image. You can decide about the size of the image using alt texts like #small, #x-small and #xx-small:

![[myImage.png|#xx-small]]
!(#x-small)[myImage.png]

New Sizing Feature:

You can now use the formats below to scale the images:

Width x Height
![100x100](image.png)
Only Width
![300](image.png)

📕 Invert Color Feature

Similar to Minimal Theme, you can add #invert within the alt-text to view the images in invert color mode:

![[image.png|#invert]]
![#invert](image.png)

📕 Transclusions Rendering

The plugin now renders the Transclusions within the Editor. You can use as file transclusion, block id and header:

File Transclusion
![[myFile]]
Block Transclusion
![[myFile#^316sd1]]
Header Transclusion
![[myFile#Header2]]

To be able to use this functionality, you need to enable render in plugin settings.

📕 Wikilink to Markdown & Markdown to Wikilink

Plugin's link conversion functions are moved to Obsidian Link Converter Plugin with many additional functionalities. You can download from Community Plugins.

📕 Excalidraw View

After a nice collaboration with Zsolt, you can now view excalidraw drawings within the Editor, as well. Reference: Excalidraw Plugin

Usage with excalidraw extension:

![[drawing.excalidraw|ALT_TEXT]]
![[drawing|ALT-TEXT]]
!(ALT_TEXT)[drawing.excalidraw]
!(ALT-TEXT)[drawing]

You can turn on/off rendering option for Excalidraw drawings.

📕 PDF Render Feature

You can turn on option for rendering the PDF files in the Editor mode. You can view both from local files and from the internet. You can also start viewing the PDF file from certain page number using the following pattern:

![[myfile.pdf#page=12]]
![](myfile.pdf#page=12)

📕 iFrame Render Feature

You can turn on the iFrame option from settings to render iframes within the editor:

Samples:

<iframe
    width="560"
    height="315"
    src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L9fJM2jCPlU"
    title="YouTube video player"
    frameborder="0"
    allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"
    allowfullscreen
></iframe>
<iframe width="550" height="315" src="https://ozan.pl" />

📕 Local Files

It is also possible to view supported files even if the files are not located within the Obsidian Vault. Let's say if you have a file located under your Downloads folder, you can use either file:/// or app://local/ prefixes to view the file in Editor:

![My Local File](file:////Users/mycomputer/Downloads/Images/IMG_1122.jpg)

📕 MSG and EML Files (Outlook)

Starting from version 2.1.8, the plugin also supports render of msg and eml extensions directly in the editor. To be able to use this option, you need to install MSG Handler plugin since the render engine is dependent on MSG Handler plugin. Use Wikilinks to render like following:

![[MyMessageFromOutlook.msg]]
![[AnotherMessageToSee.eml]]

📕 Toggle Render Options

You have an option to toggle render for images, pdf, iframes, transclusions and excalidraws in your plugin settings. You can also toggle render by using the commands available in the command pallette. Toggling Render All option will require you to reload the vault.

📕 Style Settings Plugin Support

Some of the style settings (i.e. max width of #small, #x-small alt text, or max height of render of transclusions or msg/eml files) of Ozan's Image in Editor plugin are exposed within Style Settings Plugin.
