Markdown Furigana

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>	漢かん字じ
{北京|ㄅㄟˇ|ㄐㄧㄥ}	<ruby>北<rt>ㄅㄟˇ</rt>京<rt>ㄐㄧㄥ</rt></ruby>	北ㄅㄟˇ京ㄐㄧㄥ
{北京|Běi|jīng}	<ruby>北<rt>Běi</rt>京<rt>jīng</rt></ruby>	北Běi京jīng
{韓國|한|국}	<ruby>韓<rt>한</rt>國<rt>국</rt></ruby>	韓한國국

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.
