Version 0.7.1
Released Sep 25, 2024 - 489.1 KBWorks with firefox 113.0 and later, android 120.0 and laterAdds "Legacy mode" setting to use Obsidian URI to copy content on browsers and OSes that support it.Source code released under The MIT License
Version 0.7.0
Released Sep 24, 2024 - 487.32 KBWorks with firefox 113.0 and later, android 120.0 and laterWeb Clipper now requires Obsidian 1.7.2 or above. Users on older versions of Obsidian will see a message when trying to clip content. The reason is that some browsers and operating systems strictly limit the length of URIs, making it impossible to pass content from a page via this method beyond ~2000 characters. This fails silently which is confusing for many users. As of Obsidian 1.7.2 we can now pass content into Obsidian via the clipboard.
Improved
- `title` filter now works better with arrays and objects.
- Various performance improvements.Source code released under The MIT License
Version 0.6.2
Released Sep 23, 2024 - 495.15 KBWorks with firefox 113.0 and later, android 120.0 and laterNew
- Added selectorHtml: prefix for variables. Works the same as selector: but extracts the HTML rather than text content, which is useful if you want to process the content with remove_html, strip_tags, strip_attr, and markdown filters.
Improved
- The {{author}} variable now returns a comma separated list if there are multiple authors. Note this means the default template is updated to {{author|split:", "|wikilink|join}} if you want to wikilink the authors.
- Improved conversion of Markdown tables and falls back to HTML tables if the table contains merged cells.
- Improved handling of lower, upper and titlecase across languages and for arrays.
- Improved handling of footnote references.
- No longer overrides date filters in date and datetime properties.

Version 0.6.0
Released Sep 21, 2024 - 467.27 KBWorks with firefox 113.0 and later, android 120.0 and laterWarning: this update contains a breaking change for append and daily note templates. There is no automatic migration. You will need to update the note title field of any templates that add to an existing note. This update also means that append and daily note templates require Obsidian 1.7.2. which is currently available in early access.
New
Two new template behavior options: Add to existing note, at the top and Add to daily note, at the top which allows you to add content to the top of the note rather than the bottom.
Daily note templates no longer require note title and path as we can now detect the daily note location in Obsidian as of 1.7.2.
Properties can now be used across all template behaviors, and will be merged automatically with the existing note's properties if there are any.
Added link filter to create Markdown links.
Automatically adds the programming language when clipping code blocks, if one is defined.
Improved
If the extension is opened while the page is partially loaded, it will now update itself when the content finishes loading.
Support converting MathJax to Obsidian math blocks.
More improvements to replace filter when dealing with special characters like :.
Don't use quotes around date and datetime YAML frontmatter values, to match Obsidian format.
Improve escaping and indentation for code blocks.Source code released under The MIT License
