Description

The Advanced Note Composer plugin extends the functionality of Obsidian's core Note Composer plugin by addressing common limitations during note merging and content extraction. It intelligently updates relative links when content is moved between files, preventing broken links that usually require manual fixing. Additionally, it handles invalid characters in titles by either sanitizing them or storing the original form in note aliases or frontmatter titles for better compatibility with quick switcher and metadata-based workflows. This plugin is especially useful for users who regularly restructure their notes and want a smoother, error-free experience.

Advanced Note Composer

Buy Me a Coffee GitHub release GitHub downloads

This Obsidian plugin extends the core Note composer plugin fixing some bugs and adding additional features.

Relative links

If you use Merge current file with another file..., Extract current selection..., Extract this heading... from the note with relative links, the core plugin moves those links as is, which leads to broken links you have to fix manually.

The current plugin adjusts such links and makes them valid.

Invalid titles

Sometimes when you extract selection or heading, the chosen title is invalid

# Title with invalid characters *\<>:|?#^[]"

The core plugin will show an error when you try to extract such heading.

The current plugin allows to replace/remove such invalid characters.

If those invalid characters were used intentionally, the plugin allows to add the invalid title

  • to the note alias (to be able to access it from the Quick switcher).
  • to the frontmatter title key.

Treat title as path

Treat title as path option converts titles that contain / into paths.

For example, when we invoke Extract this heading... command for ## a / b / c / d:

If Treat title as path option is

  • enabled - the split file will be a/b/c/d.md. Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed.
  • disabled - the split file will be a _ b _ c _ d.md. Spaces are preserved. / is replaced with _ (or another replacement string as per settings).

The plugin is available in the official Community Plugins repository.
