markdown.formatter.md

For source code, I'd often use a tool like [[prettier]] to avoid putting mental cycles into how to format code. There should be a similar tool for Markdown files.

• Ideally I could run it from CLI, vscode, and obsidian

• Maybe make it some git precommit hook

• Try running https://github.com/executablebooks/mdformat on git repo first ⏫

  • pipx run mdformat .
  • ❌ yikes, messed up frontmatter. AND, not GFM aware...
  • ✅ Converted tab indents to two spaces

• NEXT, try prettier: https://prettier.io/blog/2017/11/07/1.8.0.html ⏫

• retry mdformat, wit above plugins: https://mdformat.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/plugins.html#id1 ⏫

  • See https://github.com/topics/mdformat

• NEXT, try https://platers.github.io/obsidian-linter/ just against bin/

• THEN, make sure there's some way to rollback the OneDrive notes... cron job that zips it?

Fixing indents

If initial indent is 4 spaces, then later indent of 6 spaces should be fixed.

Deleting empty files

Easy to script

gci | gci -r | ? Size -eq 0 | ri

note: one complication is that from ~/notes just running gci -r doesn't recurse into the symlinks

• Look if this is a bug in pwsh or if there's some workaround
• could run find ~/notes/MyNotes/ -empty -- not recursive though?

Wiki urls

Fix any [[Obsidian wiki links]] into [Obsidian wiki links](../../Obsidian wiki links.md)

Bare URLs

URLs that are links: [https://example.com](https://example.com) should just be turned to plaintext link: https://example.com ...if it links to any other URL, don't fix but should be lint error. (Ignore the fragment instead of erroring though.)

Normalizing empty lines

Most important: end of file

Redundant H1

Just remove the H1 if it matches the file name
