Obsidian plugins with #japanese#

The kkh plugin for Obsidian allows users to convert text between old and new styles of Japanese kana and kanji. It offers six types of transformations, including converting from modern to traditional kana, traditional to modern kana, modern to traditional kanji, and traditional to modern kanji. The plugin also supports conversions for combined styles like modern kana and kanji to traditional equivalents and vice versa. Users can select text in the editor and apply transformations through the ribbon menu, command palette, or text menu, with support for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android. This plugin streamlines the process of switching between different versions of Japanese writing, making it a valuable tool for linguists, historians, and anyone working with older Japanese texts or modernizing traditional content.

The Japanese Manuscript Counter plugin displays real time character counts and manuscript page equivalents optimized for Japanese writing. It shows counts in the status bar based on the 400 character manuscript paper standard (genkouyoushi). When you select text, the plugin updates to show counts for just that selection. You can also access detailed counting information through the command palette. The plugin accounts for Japanese specific formatting rules including line breaks, paragraphs and kinsoku shori (line-breaking restrictions). Full width characters count as one, half width as 0.5. Essential for Japanese writers who need accurate manuscript formatting.

The Japanese Novel Tool plugin supports Japanese novel writing with correct paragraph indentation across Reading view, Live Preview and Source mode. It renders ruby text and emphasis dots written in Kakuyomu, Aozora Bunko and Narou notation, with commands for inserting or removing that markup. Optional editor marks reveal full width spaces, tabs and line breaks. Character counts appear in the status bar and can also be shown beside headings for their sections. The counter can exclude whitespace, line breaks, ruby and emphasis control characters, callouts, Markdown comments, headings and Markdown control characters through configurable settings. Two commands copy the current heading section with or without its heading, including nested subsections, while files without headings can be copied in full.

The Markdown Furigana plugin enhances the readability of multilingual text in Obsidian by rendering furigana annotations, commonly used in Japanese and other languages. By applying a simple markdown syntax, users can display kanji, kana, or other scripts with pronunciation or transliteration aids, improving comprehension and accessibility. The plugin processes furigana rendering during preview mode without altering the original notes, ensuring clean and flexible note editing. It supports multiple furigana sections, allowing detailed annotations for complex scripts, making it particularly useful for language learners or those working with annotated text.

The Furigana plugin for Obsidian adds functionality for marking selected text with ruby annotations, allowing users to display furigana readings for kanji. This is particularly useful for learners of Japanese, as it provides immediate access to pronunciation guides directly within Obsidian. The plugin enables users to highlight text and apply the `<ruby>` HTML tag to show furigana readings. Currently, the plugin is focused on this annotation feature, with plans to add automatic kanji-to-hiragana conversion in future updates.

The Word Splitting for Japanese in Edit Mode plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who work with Japanese text. This plugin allows you to split Japanese words correctly, making it easier to edit and organize your notes. With this plugin, you'll no longer have to worry about incorrect word splitting affecting your note-taking experience.

The Japanese Helper for Obsidian plugin simplifies the process of converting romaji into Japanese scripts directly within your notes. With just a shortcut or command palette entry, selected Latin text can be transformed into either hiragana or katakana. It smartly handles nuances like small kana, long vowels, particles, and double consonants, making it more accurate for everyday usage. The plugin is lightweight and works seamlessly in the editor, supporting custom hotkeys for quick access and optional notifications after conversion.
