CookLang Editor Obsidian Plugin

A plugin for Obsidian adding support for CookLang

Installation

• This plugin has been submitted community plugins repo. You can install it from Communinty Plugins within Obsidian.
• You can build and install the plugin manually by checking out the files to <your vault>/.obsidian/plugins/cooklang-obsidian and running npm install and then npm run build.

Security

Third-party plugins can access files on your computer, connect to the internet, and even install additional programs.

The source code of this plugin is available on GitHub for you to audit yourself, but installing plugins into Obsidian is a matter of trust.

I can assure you here that I do nothing to collect your data, send information to the internet or otherwise do anything nefarious with your system. However, be aware that I could, and without auditing the code yourself, you only have my word that I don't.

Support me

This is an open-source plugin I made for fun. It's completely free. However, if you absolutely have to send me money because you like it that much, feel free to throw some coins in my hat via the following:

Roadmap

This is the stuff I would ideally like to include in this plugin that isn't available as yet:

• Improve editor/preview mode buttons to be more like markdown
• Command to convert .md to .cook
  • Maybe also cook code block support?
• Include option for showing quantities inline in the method
  • Option to link between ingredients and method?
• Include options for showing ingredients list, tools list and time
  • (calculate total time)
• Unit conversion (metric <-> imperial)
• Scaling up/down (check spec)
• Shopping list and .conf file support (needs designing)
• Better metadata support.
  • Making source links clickable.
  • Support for Obsidian tagging.
• (Maybe, pending feedback) Markdown formatting support.
