TIL that it’s possible to style Obsidian<\/a> text paragraphs in a way that allows me to focus on the actual text content and not on the fact that I need to add an artificial line break every time I type a paragraph :-)<\/p>\n

Obsidian can use CSS snippets to style the application itself and the text\/markdown content. The CSS snippets need to be saved in <vault_directory>\/snippets\/whatever.css<\/code>.
\nThis is how to get that “natural” book-like spacing between paragraphs, and avoid adding spurious line breaks in the markdown code:<\/p>\n


\n.cm-contentContainer {
\n  line-height: 1.70rem;
\n}<\/p>\n

.markdown-source-view.mod-cm6 .cm-content > .cm-line {
\n  padding-bottom: 12px !important;
\n}
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Of course, the values for main line-height and padding will depend on your particular screen and font settings. In my case I use a screen tilted in vertical position for writing and coding, and my font of choice is the beautiful Berkeley Graphics’s Berkeley Mono<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
