thank you so much! think many in the open-source community forget too quickly that normal ppl don't know whats for them basic stuff. it makes it really hard if you want to join a community like this
this is the only video I've found that makes this make sense. I'm in way over my head in the forums etc as a beginner just figuring out what css is and how to use. this helped me get my obsidian headers color coded. thank you!
Just a word of appreciation for some very clear instructions. Not everybody seems to be able to do that. I'm 3 weeks or so into obsidian and really enjoying it. Thank you for the help.
The content of this video was exactly what I was looking for. I don't think the title is particularly clear considering the video's content. Regardless, thank you for your structured explanation, it helped me do what I wanted in my Obsidian application.
5:45 Thanks for explaining this bit. It seemed too trivial to get explicitly explained in the Obsidian Forums, lol. I failed to find that _CSS snippets_ section in the _Appearance_ Options, and couldn't figure out where I'd have to put the individual CSS file.
Excellent video. I liked + subscribed. Question: I’m curious why you have a separate vault for DP? If you use multiple vaults, don’t you lose the ability to find serendipity in disparate subjects?
Good q. And yes, you would lose the serendipity. But for me, DP is a project with a start-finish. Some of the stuff I did in there, I don't do in my vault (like copy-paste entire essays). But the goal was to share the project, and the essays, for posterity. For my personal use, I have two vaults, one of "everything" and one just for science (experimenting with scientific knowledge). LMK if there's other stuff you're curious about. 💪🏼

Ok, so I see Obsidian's templates as aliases, simple keypress = short snippet of text, But I figure I can have multiple templates inside of a single template file, making it function like a template I am familiar with. That said, can I tie a CSS snippet like the above to a specific template in my template file? And have it apply only if/when that template is used. Example. Hypothetically I use Obsidian for both research and writing. For the purposes of recall and organization, I like that the tag #important always be red but not the word important. That way, if I paste something that is of interest but not necessarily important, but that bit of text I copied contains the word important, I don't want it red in this case. Or perhaps I am writing a draft, and I use the word important, but again, it's not a tag but a simple word. Can that CSS instruction only apply to a given template execution and not the use of a specific text string?
I have version 0.9.15 and "CSS Snippets" is not an option under appearance. Only Base mode and Custom CSS shows up under appearance settings. Do you know if this capability no longer exists?
when i activate a css snippet it doesnt override the master css file - which also is stored in the snipped folder and activated . I am on obsidian v0.10.1. Any idea ?
I also experience the same thing. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how Obsidian instructs the snippets to prioritize one over another. I'll keep poking and let you know if I find anything.

I'm a newbie at Obsidian and just wanted to say that your video was amazingly helpful.
I just started using Obsidian today and your video was just what I needed. Excellent job, thank you!
The CSS snippets are explained greatly! Thank you!
Just a word of appreciation for some very clear instructions. Not everybody seems to be able to do that. I'm 3 weeks or so into obsidian and really enjoying it. Thank you for the help.

can you use snippet per page? or folder?
Ok, so I see Obsidian's templates as aliases, simple keypress = short snippet of text, But I figure I can have multiple templates inside of a single template file, making it function like a template I am familiar with.

Are the David Perell essays available somewhere for download in markdown for Obsidian?
Not that I know of. But they are all on his website, and I know he sent them via email to his subscribers at one time.
Can I do it in mobile obsidian
I have version 0.9.15 and "CSS Snippets" is not an option under appearance. Only Base mode and Custom CSS shows up under appearance settings. Do you know if this capability no longer exists?
It’s a new capability, I believe. Can you upgrade?
Yes, I upgraded and see it now. Thanks!

@@HeurekaLabs THANK YOU for letting me know I am not the only one experiencing that problem.
I also found if you activate a community theme, the snippet doesn’t override it.
obsidian is garbage you can't even change font colour
i wasted 2 hours
