A new blog post in my blog: I am sharing a #CSS snippet I wrote for #Obsidian, which makes the default Markdown display better for me by always showing the corresponding formatting symbols.
I wish this was available as a built-in option, as it does not work for all the cases like nested _**strong inside em**_, but better than nothing I guess.
I did not yet look into if there would be something additional possible through the plugin API — if it will allow altering how the formatted markdown tags look with the access to their source code (like, access to the markdown AST or something), a plugin fixing this properly could be also be possible.
