Markdown Furigana Plugin (Obsidian)

Simple markdown to furigana rendering plugin for displaying Japanese text with furigana in Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).

As of 1.2.0, the plugin is no longer limited to Japanese Text

Based off of markdown-it-ruby syntax. All rendering is done post-processing when previewing, so your notes are not modified.

Examples

Markdown Processed As Displays As
{漢字|かんじ} <ruby>漢字<rt>かんじ</rt></ruby> 漢字かんじ
{漢字|かん|じ} <ruby>漢<rt>かん</rt>字<rt>じ</rt></ruby> かん
{北京|ㄅㄟˇ|ㄐㄧㄥ} <ruby>北<rt>ㄅㄟˇ</rt>京<rt>ㄐㄧㄥ</rt></ruby> ㄅㄟˇㄐㄧㄥ
{北京|Běi|jīng} <ruby>北<rt>Běi</rt>京<rt>jīng</rt></ruby> Běijīng
{韓國|한|국} <ruby>韓<rt>한</rt>國<rt>국</rt></ruby>

Additional Info

The plugin expects the first section to be Kanji or Kana, and furigana sections to be Hiragana or Katakana. If more than one furigana section, there must be as many as the number of characters in the first section. Sections of furigana can also be empty.
