Bryan Jenks, What is your theme.

Question

What is your question?

Bryan Jenks! I know you are very busy and have alot going on but it will be really helpful if you answer. Please briefly tell me what theme are you using and what are the snippets you have added to your Obsidian Vault. I saw your videos and your published vault and it's beautiful. I also saw your zotero video and it had some snippet which made the links small in preview. Overall, Can you tell me what are the snippets and what theme you use for your vault. Thanks,
Regards, Daniyal Ahmed.

PDF Annotation tools on mac OS?

Question

I've been trying the Preview (Highlight/notes) -> Zotero -> Markdown annotations -> Obsidian templates, but Preview has been very unreliable in saving my highlights and notes. Do you have any alternatives to Preview that is more reliable?

Templates Parsing not working

Thanks###

Hi Bryan,
thanks for all the great videos!
I'm trying to catch up with áll the things your are showing and coyping what I need for my workflow.
Hint: Would love to see some "How should should / could start videos = best practices for newbies :-)

Still a new user and at the beginning of this journey. I thought it's a good idea to use templates for a good structure, so I started with your latest version.
But...

Question

When I use your templates in my Obsidian (0.11.13) with templater 1.51 it's not parsing the data.
i.e. <%tp.file.title%> does not show the file name and <%tp.date.now()%>] does not show the date.

I tried to Templates: Replace templates in the active file and then I saw this note coming up:
templater error Template parsing error, aborting check concole for more informations

I have no clue what "console" is meant here.

Do you any guidance for me?

Best,
Jörn

Converting an HTML page from a website to a note in Obsidian

Question

What is your question?

I would like some way to copy content from a webpage and paste into into an Obsidian note and maintain the formatting, primarily for tables of data. Is there a particular plugin for this that would be useful?

using the meta data in the template but it can't work

I am getting the same issue here when I try to use Templater to insert the 'meta' template on a blank file called { book

• Templater enabled with following settings.. I have tried putting in the folder Templates and also leaving blank and does not make difference
  

• The meta file is setup from your .zip download
  

Discussed in #85

when I import the meta template into my new file named "{test" but it shows up this announcement. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you so much...
