Omni Infobox

An Obsidian plugin that renders Wikipedia-style infoboxes from YAML frontmatter, including a floating panel pinned to the top-right of the reading pane.

  • Supports title, subtitle, images, captions, tags, and key-value fields
  • Named section dividers within the field list
  • Supports internal wikilinks in text properties and fields
  • Resolves local vault images (wikilink or plain filename)
  • Automatic light/dark theme support
  • Works on desktop and mobile

Manual

  1. Download main.js, styles.css, and manifest.json from the latest release

Frontmatter fields

Key Type Description
title string Bold heading at the top of the card
subtitle string Italic line below the title
image string A single filename or URL. Supports [[wikilinks]] and ![[wikilinks]]
caption string Small italic text below a single image
images list Image gallery entries, each with image and optional label and caption
tags list/string Optional tags to show in the infobox. Falls back to the note's frontmatter and inline tags
showTags boolean Set to false to hide tags for a note
fields list Array of single-key objects (see below)

Text values in title, subtitle, caption, section headers, field labels, and field values can include internal links such as [[Mondstadt]] or [[Knights of Favonius|the Knights]]. Quoted and unquoted YAML wikilinks are supported.

Fields list

Each item in fields is a single-key YAML object:

  • Regular row: any key/value pair renders as a label + value row
  • Section header: use the key section to insert a divider with a category label
fields:
  - section: Category Name   # renders as a section divider
  - Label: Value             # renders as a data row

Images

Images can be specified as:

  • A plain filename: image: einstein.jpg (resolved via vault)
  • A wikilink: image: "[[einstein.jpg]]" or image: "![[einstein.jpg]]"
  • A remote URL: image: https://example.com/photo.jpg

For a gallery, use images instead of image. With more than one entry, the infobox shows image tabs:

images:
  - label: Portrait
    image: "[[einstein.jpg]]"
    caption: Photograph from 1921
  - label: Lecture
    image: "[[einstein-lecture.jpg]]"
    caption: Einstein giving a lecture
