czottmann / obsidian-blockquote-levels

A plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) that adds commands for increasing/decreasing the blockquote level of the current line or selection(s).

Blockquote Levels

This plugin for Obsidian adds commands for increasing/decreasing the blockquote level of the current line or selection(s).

Usage

The plugin introduces two new commands, "Blockquote Levels: Increase" and "Blockquote Levels: Decrease".

"Increase" adds a Markdown blockquote prefix (>) to the current line, the current selection or selections. Subsequent calls will add subsequent prefixes, thus increasing the quote levels.

"Decrease" removes the first Markdown blockquote prefix (>) from the current line, the current selection or selections. Mix'n'match is fine as each line is processed individually; when the selected lines sport different quote levels, only one prefix (>) is removed from each line (where present).

Out of the box the plugin doesn't set hotkeys, set them yourself as you see fit, or trigger the commands using the command palette. The World is your oyster!

[Feature Request] Add prefix option to settings (`>> text` vs. `> > text`)

Would it be possible to add a feature to indent by adding > with a space rather than just >?

Wrap each run in a transaction

Suggestion coming out of the Community Plugins PR.

[…] you could wrap [the change] in a single transaction. That will make the changes atomic, so if the user presses "undo" all the changes will be rolled back at once.

(here's an example from the creases plugin)
