## Badges

### Introduction

A light-weight plugin for displaying inline "badges" in [Obsidian.md](https://github.com/obsidianmd) which acts similarly to a key-value store(database) for querying via default search or [Dataview](https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview) plugin.

### Usage

###### default syntax

```markdown
`[!!KEY:VAL]`
```

| syntax | details |
| ------ | ------------------------------- |
| `KEY` | the type and name of the `ICON` |
| `VAL` | the value and text displayed |

> [!IMPORTANT]
> the `VAL` cannot contain either the `|` pipe or the `:` colon symbols, as they are used as delimiters for the custom syntax

###### example

```markdown
`[!!note:note]`
`[!!info:info]`
`[!!todo:todo]`
...
`[!!cite:cite]`
```
