Description

The GoBoard plugin renders diagrams for the board game Go (also called Weiqi or Baduk) directly in your notes. You create diagrams using markdown code blocks with a simple syntax to define board size and stone positions. Black and white stones are placed using straightforward position notation. The plugin supports various board sizes and lets you visualize game positions, problems or study patterns without needing external tools. Perfect for Go players who want to document games, create tutorial content or analyze positions within their knowledge base.
