Markdown Tags for Obsidian Obsidian plugin

Reading Time

Reading time for this document is 1 minute for 123 words.

obsidian-markdown-tags (also Tags for Markdown) renders tags in Reading view and in Live Preview, including inside tables.

Install

1. In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins and search for Tags for Markdown.
2. Install it, then enable it.

To install by hand, download the latest release and copy main.js, styles.css and manifest.json into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-markdown-tags/.

Use

Write tags in any note, the same as everywhere else:

((tag|todo)) ((tag|in-progress|#ffcc00)) ((tag|done|#28a745|#ffffff)) ((<tag|planned))

In a table, prefer the / separator so the | doesn't split the cell: ((tag/Done/green)). To change how tags look, edit the plugin's styles.css. An invalid color falls back to grey.
