A remark plugin to parse Obsidian's callout syntax.

## What is this

This is a [remark](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) plugin that parses [Obsidian's callout](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Callouts) syntax, and adds custom data attributes and classes to the HTML elements for further customizations.

## How to use

### Installation

First, install the plugin with your favorite package manager.

With `npm`:

```
npm install remark-obsidian-callout --save-dev
```

or with `pnpm`:

```
pnpm add -D remark-obsidian-callout
```

Then in your `astro.config.mjs` config file:

```js
import remarkObsidianCallout from "remark-obsidian-callout";

export default defineConfig({
// ...
markdown: {
// ...
remarkPlugins: [
// ...
remarkObsidianCallout,
],
},
// ...
});
```

Now we can run the dev server with `pnpm astro dev`.

Say if we want to render an error callout with:

```
> [!error] This is an error callout
> This is the content inside callout
```

The callout would be rendered as something like this:

```html






This is an error callout


This is the content inside callout


```

Now you can customize the callout with some CSS or JavaScript for example:

```css
blockquote[data-callout] {
padding: 1rem;
border-radius: 1rem;
}

blockquote[data-callout="error"] {
background-color: red;
}

[data-expanded="false"] .callout-content {
max-height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
transition: max-height 0.2s ease-out;
}

[data-expanded="true"] .callout-content {
max-height: 100px; /* or whatever height needed */
}

[data-expandable="true"] .callout-title {
cursor: pointer;
}
```

```js
const callout = document.querySelector(".callout-error");

callout.addEventListener("click", () => {
if (callout.getAttribute("data-expandable") === "true") {
if (callout.getAttribute("data-expanded") === "false") {
callout.setAttribute("data-expanded", "true");
} else {
callout.setAttribute("data-expanded", "false");
}
}
});
```

### Configuration

To configure the plugin, simply add the following options to your `astro.config.mjs` file. For example:

```js
import remarkObsidianCallout from "remark-obsidian-callout";

export default defineConfig({
// ...
markdown: {
// ...
remarkPlugins: [
// ...
[
remarkObsidianCallout,
{
dataAttribute: "custom-callout",
titleTextTagName: "span",
iconTagName: "span",
// ...
},
],
],
},
// ...
});
```

Config Options:

```ts
export interface Config {
// the data attribute name to be added to the blockquote
dataAttribute: string;
// the custom class name to be added to the blockquote, by default it's `${dataAttribute}-${calloutType}` if not specified
blockquoteClass: string | undefined;
// the custom class name to be added to the div, the parent element of icon & title text
titleClass: string;
// the tag name for the title text element, default to `div`
titleTextTagName: string;
// the custom class name to be added to the title text element
titleTextClass: string;
// a function to transform the title text, you can use it to append custom strings
titleTextTransform: (title: string) => string;
// the tag name for the title icon element, default to `div`
iconTagName: string;
// the custom class name to be added to the title icon element
iconClass: string;
// the custom class name to be added to the content element
contentClass: string;
// predefined callouts, an object with callout's name as key, its SVG icon as value
// see https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Callouts#Supported+types
// you can customize it by overriding the same callout's icon or passing new callout with customized name and icon
callouts: Record;
}
// default configs
const defaultConfig: Config = {
dataAttribute: "callout",
blockquoteClass: undefined,
titleClass: "callout-title",
titleTextTagName: "div",
titleTextClass: "callout-title-text",
titleTextTransform: (title: string) => title.trim(),
iconTagName: "div",
iconClass: "callout-title-icon",
contentClass: "callout-content",
callouts: {
note: pencilIcon,
abstract: clipboardListIcon,

tldr: clipboardListIcon,
info: infoIcon,
todo: checkCircleIcon,
tip: flameIcon,
hint: flameIcon,

question: helpCircleIcon,
help: helpCircleIcon,
faq: helpCircleIcon,
warning: alertTriangleIcon,

};
```

## TODOs & Limitations

- [ ] Currently does not support nested callouts, as the usecase of this should be uncommon
