Callout Integrator
This plugin allows you to select long blocks of text and integrate them into a callout.
HK Code Block
This plugin enhances the options for code blocks.
Adding a title:
```powershell title:"This is a code block"
write-output "Hello World!"
```
Making it collapsible:
```powershell title:"This is a code block" collapse
write-output "Hello World!"
```
Showing line numbers:
```powershell linenos
write-output "Hello World!"
```
Highlighting lines:
```powershell highlight:"2-5,9"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
write-output "Hello World!"
```
Showing result:
```powershell
write-output "Hello World!"
```
```result
Hello World!
```
You can also show/hide the language indicator with language:true/false, show/hide copy button with copybtn:true/false, and add a prompt with prompt:”$”. You can make all these settings default in the plugin settings.
OpenWeather Plugin for Obsidian
This plugin allows you to display the weather conditions in the statusbar and to insert them in your notes.
You have already 4 template strings available as insert commands in the command paletteto insert in your notes, but you can customize those strings in settings.
On the plugin’s GitHub page, you can find a pretty cool way to display the weather on your daily note using this plugin. I’ve adapted it to my Daily Note. It basically inserts today’s weather condition, which remains unchanged. But while you mouse hover it, it will fetch and display the current weather.
<div class="weather_historical_3">%weather3%</div>
<div class="weather_current_4"></div>

Optimize Canvas Connections
This plugin helps you reorganize your canvas connections moving your cards around. You can optimize the connection preserving axes or use the shortest path. Check it out:
