User: Write me a metabind button that when clicked, creates an admonition of a certain type below the matching header. It will prompt for the name of the admonition and then a link which will be embedded in the body
Assistant: Creating a metabind button that prompts the user for an admonition name and a link, then generates the formatted admonition below the corresponding header requires a few steps. I’ll provide an example of how you can create a button in an HTML environment with JavaScript to achieve this functionality.

Here’s a simple example:

### HTML and JavaScript Code

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Create Admonition</title>
    <style>
        .admonition {
            border: 1px solid #007bff;
            background-color: #e9f6ff;
            padding: 10px;
            margin: 10px 0;
        }

        .admonition h4 {
            margin: 0;
            color: #0056b3;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<h2>My Header</h2>
<p>This is some content under the header.</p>
<button id="create-admonition">Create Admonition</button>

<div id="admonition-container"></div>

<script>
document.getElementById('create-admonition').addEventListener('click', function() {
    // Prompt for admonition name
    const admonitionName = prompt('Enter the name of the admonition:');
    if (admonitionName) {
        // Prompt for link
        const link = prompt('Enter a link to embed in the admonition:');
        if (link) {
            // Create the admonition HTML
            const admonitionHtml = `
                <div class="admonition">
                    <h4>${admonitionName}</h4>
                    <p>For more information, visit <a href="${link}" target="_blank">${link}</a>.</p>
                </div>
            `;

            // Insert admonition below the header
            document.getElementById('admonition-container').innerHTML += admonitionHtml;
        } else {
            alert('Link is required to create an admonition.');
        }
    } else {
        alert('Admonition name is required.');
    }
});
</script>

</body>
</html>
```

### Explanation:

1. **HTML Structure**: The structure contains a header, a paragraph, and a button to create the admonition.

2. **Styling**: The CSS styles give the admonition block a border and background color which makes it visually distinct.

3. **JavaScript Logic**:
   - An event listener is added to the button. When clicked, it prompts the user for the name of the admonition and the link.
   - If the user provides both inputs, the corresponding HTML for the admonition is created.
   - The generated admonition is then appended to a `div` below the header.

4. **Validation**: If the user fails to provide either the admonition name or the link, an alert prompts them to enter it.

You can use this template and integrate it as needed based on your specific application or environment.
User: hi this is for the obsidian plugin metabind
Assistant: If you're working with the Obsidian plugin metabind, you would typically want to define a button that interacts with the markdown environment rather than plain HTML/JavaScript. Below is a code snippet tailored for the metabind plugin in Obsidian, which creates a button to generate an admonition below the corresponding header.

### Sample Code for Obsidian's Metabind Plugin

You can add this code in your Obsidian plugin code or a custom note where you can use markdown and JavaScript (if supported):

```javascript
// This code assumes you are familiar with developing a custom plugin for Obsidian

const { App, Plugin } = require('obsidian');

class AdmonitionPlugin extends Plugin {
    onload() {
        // Create button in the command palette
        this.addRibbonIcon('book', 'Create Admonition', async (evt) => {
            const admonitionName = await this.app.vault.prompt('Enter the name of the admonition:');
            if (!admonitionName) {
                new Notice('Admonition name is required.');
                return;
            }
            
            const link = await this.app.vault.prompt('Enter the link to embed in the admonition:');
            if (!link) {
                new Notice('Link is required to create an admonition.');
                return;
            }

            const activeEditor = this.app.workspace.getActiveViewOfType(MarkdownView);
            if (activeEditor) {
                const cursor = activeEditor.editor.getCursor();
                const headerPos = cursor.line;

                // Get the current note text
                const noteContent = activeEditor.editor.getValue();
                const lines = noteContent.split('\n');

                // Insert admonition below the matching header
                const admonition = `
> ![${admonitionName}](https://via.placeholder.com/15/007bff/000000?text=+) **${admonitionName}**
> For more information, visit [${link}](${link}).`;

                // Insert after the header directly below it
                lines.splice(headerPos + 1, 0, admonition);
                activeEditor.editor.setValue(lines.join('\n'));
            } else {
                new Notice('No active Markdown note to insert admonition.');
            }
        });
    }
}

module.exports = AdmonitionPlugin;
```

### Explanation:

1. **Importing Required Classes**: The code imports necessary classes from Obsidian.

2. **Creating a Plugin Class**: A class `AdmonitionPlugin` is defined, inheriting from `Plugin`.

3. **Adding Button**: Inside the `onload` method, a ribbon icon (button) is created. Users can click this button to trigger the admonition creation process.

4. **User Input Prompts**: The plugin uses prompts to ask for the name of the admonition and the associated link.

5. **Inserting the Admonition**:
   - It finds the active Markdown editor.
   - Gets the cursor's current position to insert the admonition immediately after the current header.
   - Constructs a markdown formatted admonition and inserts it into the text of the note.

6. **Notices**: It displays notifications for various situations, such as missing inputs or if no active note is detected.

### Final Note:
You will need to adjust the specific aspects of the plugin based on your Obsidian setup and how the `metabind` plugin functions. This example is a standalone custom plugin but can be adapted as necessary within the context of your existing Obsidian workflows.
User: write me a javascript codeblock that will display a website without a specific csss class
Assistant: If you want to create a JavaScript code block that can display a website but filters out elements with a specific CSS class, you can use an `iframe` to embed the site, and then manipulate the DOM to remove elements based on that class after loading the content. However, do note that due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies, directly manipulating the DOM of an iframe that loads a different domain is often restricted. 

That said, here's a concept of how you might implement such a solution if you had control over the site's content, or if the site allows such manipulation:

### JavaScript Code Example

This example assumes you can access the content of the iframe. However, if you were working with an external site, you will likely run into CORS limitations.

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Display Website without Specific CSS Class</title>
</head>
<body>

<iframe id="myIframe" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;" src="https://example.com"></iframe>

<script>
document.getElementById('myIframe').addEventListener('load', function() {
    const iframeDocument = this.contentDocument || this.contentWindow.document;

    // Function to remove elements with a specific class
    const removeElementsWithClass = (className) => {
        const elements = iframeDocument.getElementsByClassName(className);
        while (elements.length > 0) {
            elements[0].parentNode.removeChild(elements[0]);
        }
    };

    // Call the function to remove specific class elements
    removeElementsWithClass('your-specific-class'); // Change this to your actual class name
});
</script>

</body>
</html>
```

### Explanation:

1. **Iframe Setup**: An iframe is created that points to the desired website (`https://example.com`, which you should change to the actual URL).

2. **Event Listener**: Once the iframe loads, an event listener is triggered.

3. **Accessing Iframe Content**: The script tries to access the content of the iframe. This is where cross-origin restrictions may apply, so this only works if the embedded webpage is from the same origin.

4. **Removing Elements with a Specific Class**: A function `removeElementsWithClass` is defined, which takes a class name as a parameter, selects all elements with that class inside the iframe, and removes them from the DOM.

5. **Usage**: Call the `removeElementsWithClass` function with the class name of the elements you wish to hide.

### Important Note:
- **Cross-Origin Limitations**: As mentioned previously, the above script will likely not work for third-party websites due to CORS policies. The only way to manipulate the DOM of an iframe from a different origin is if you have control over that domain or if the iframe is serving content from the same origin.
- **Alternative Approaches**: If you're getting data from an API or similar and want to filter out specific elements before rendering, consider fetching the data yourself and rendering it, filtering out unwanted elements at that stage
User: can I embed the website rendering WITHIN the JS
Assistant:  you want to embed a website and manipulate its content using JavaScript, you typically have to consider Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions. However, if the target site allows embedding or is from the same origin, you can use an `<iframe>` and manipulate its content directly.

Below is an example of how to create an `iframe` and use JavaScript to manipulate the content of the website that is embedded within the `iframe`. This example will use the `srcdoc` attribute of the `iframe`, which allows you to embed HTML content directly.

### Example of Embedding a Website in an `iframe` with JavaScript

Here’s how you can set up an HTML page with JavaScript to render a simple webpage directly within the JS:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Embed Website with JavaScript</title>
    <style>
        body {
            font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
        }
        iframe {
            width: 100%;
            height: 500px;
            border: 1px solid #ccc;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Embed a Website</h1>
<iframe id="webIframe"></iframe>

<script>
    // HTML content of the embedded website
    const embeddedSiteContent = `
        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
        <head>
            <title>Embedded Page</title>
            <style>
                body { background: #f4f4f4; }
                .hide-me { display: none; }
            </style>
        </head>
        <body>
            <h2>Hello, this is an embedded page!</h2>
            <p>This content is inside an iframe.</p>
            <p class="hide-me">This content will be hidden.</p>
            <button onclick="alert('Do something!')">Click Me</button>
        </body>
        </html>
    `;

    // Set the iframe's content
    const iframe = document.getElementById('webIframe');
    iframe.srcdoc = embeddedSiteContent;

    // Remove elements with a specific class after the iframe loads
    iframe.onload = function() {
        const iframeDocument = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
        const elementsToRemove = iframeDocument.getElementsByClassName('hide-me');
        
        while (elementsToRemove.length > 0) {
            elementsToRemove[0].parentNode.removeChild(elementsToRemove[0]);
        }
    };
</script>

</body>
</html>
```

### Explanation:

1. **Embedded HTML Content**: In this example, the content of the webpage element is defined directly within the JavaScript using a template string (`embeddedSiteContent`). This allows you to create a simple HTML document that gets rendered inside the iframe.

2. **Setting `srcdoc`**: The `srcdoc` attribute of the iframe is set to the HTML content defined in the `embeddedSiteContent` variable. This will render the HTML directly.

3. **Removing Specific Elements**: Once the iframe loads, we attach a function to the `onload` event of the iframe. This function accesses the iframe's document, finds all elements with the class `hide-me`, and removes them from the DOM.

4. **Styling and Setup**: Basic styling is provided to make the iframe and page look tidy.

### Important Considerations:
- **Limitations**: If you try to load an external website via an iframe, and that website does not have CORS set up to allow this (for instance, most public-facing sites), you will not be able to manipulate its DOM.
- **Security**: Be cautious when embedding and manipulating content from external sources, as this could lead to security vulnerabilities, especially if you allow any user-generated input to affect the rendered content.

This approach should work well for dynamically rendering a controlled HTML structure within an iframe in your application.
User: explain how to use js-engine in obsidian to hide an element from an Iframe in the same note
Assistant:  Obsidian, if you are using the **JavaScript Engine** (JS Engine) plugin, you can manipulate elements within an iframe embedded in your note dynamically. Here’s how you can set up your note to hide an element from an iframe using JavaScript in Obsidian.

### Step-by-Step Guide:

1. **Install Required Plugins**:
   - Ensure you have the **JavaScript Engine** plugin installed and enabled from Obsidian's community plugins or marketplace.

2. **Create an Iframe**: 
   - Embed an iframe in your note to load content. You can use the `iframe` HTML tag directly in your markdown note.

3. **Write JavaScript to Manipulate the Iframe**: 
   - Use the JS Engine code block to write JavaScript that will interact with the iframe and hide specific elements based on their CSS classes or IDs.

### Example Setup:

Here is an example of how you can set this up in Obsidian:

#### Step 1: Embed the Iframe

Create a note with an embedded iframe, for instance, like this:

```markdown
## My Webpage

<iframe id="myIFrame" src="https://example.com" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></iframe>
```

#### Step 2: Use JavaScript to Hide an Element

After the iframe, you can add a code block to manipulate its content. Here's an example of how to hide an element with a specific class called `hide-me`:

```javascript
```js
// Function to hide an element from the iframe
function hideIframeElement() {
    const iframe = document.getElementById('myIFrame');
    
    // Ensure the iframe is loaded
    iframe.onload = function() {
        const iframeDocument = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;

        // Use the class name or ID to find the element you want to hide.
        const elementsToHide = iframeDocument.getElementsByClassName('hide-me');

        // Hide elements with the specific class name
        for (let i = elementsToHide.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            elementsToHide[i].style.display = 'none'; // Hide the element
        }
    };
}

// Call the function to hide elements
hideIframeElement();
```
```

### Explanation:

1. **Iframe Definition**: The `<iframe>` tag is used to embed an external website. Replace `https://example.com` with your desired URL.

2. **JavaScript Function**:
   - The `hideIframeElement` function retrieves the iframe by its ID (`myIFrame`).
   - The `onload` event is used to ensure that the content of the iframe is fully loaded before manipulating it.
   - The `getElementsByClassName` method is called to get elements with the class name `hide-me`.
   - The loop iterates through the found elements in reverse order and sets their `display` style to `'none'`, effectively hiding them.

### Important Notes:

- **Same-Origin Policy**: Remember that this will only work if the content in the iframe is from the same origin (i.e., the same domain) or if the target site allows embedding in an iframe (the website should not have X-Frame-Options settings that disallow it). If the iframe contains content from a different origin, the JavaScript will not be able to manipulate that content due to CORS restrictions.

- **Testing**: Make sure to test the functionality within Obsidian. The JavaScript Engine plugin must be enabled for the code to run.

- **Markdown Rendering**: As of writing, the syntax for running JavaScript in Obsidian with the JS Engine plugin involves using three backticks followed by `js` to start the block and closing with three backticks.

This approach allows you to dynamically hide elements from an iframe while staying within the Obsidian environment.
User: great. Now do it for the link https://www.moxfield.com/decks/UHpJfYNURkep4hPakScj7g and the class deckheader
Assistant:  hide elements with the class `deckheader` from the specific link `https://www.moxfield.com/decks/UHpJfYNURkep4hPakScj7g` in an Obsidian note using the JavaScript Engine plugin, you can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Guide:

1. **Install Required Plugins**:
   Ensure you have the **JavaScript Engine** plugin installed and enabled in your Obsidian.

2. **Create an Iframe in Your Note**:
   You will embed the Moxfield URL in an iframe directly in your note.

3. **Write JavaScript to Manipulate the Iframe**:
   Utilize the JavaScript Engine to select and hide elements with the class `deckheader` after the iframe has loaded.

### Example Setup:

Here's how you can set it up in your Obsidian note:

#### Step 1: Embed the Iframe

In your Obsidian note, embed the Moxfield iframe like this:

```markdown
## My Moxfield Deck

<iframe id="myIFrame" src="https://www.moxfield.com/decks/UHpJfYNURkep4hPakScj7g" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></iframe>
```

#### Step 2: JavaScript to Hide the `deckheader` Elements

Below the iframe, add the following JavaScript code block to hide elements with the class `deckheader`:

```markdown
```js
// Function to hide elements with the class 'deckheader' from the iframe
function hideDeckHeaders() {
    const iframe = document.getElementById('myIFrame');

    // Ensure the iframe is fully loaded
    iframe.onload = function() {
        const iframeDocument = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;

        // Find elements with the class 'deckheader'
        const elementsToHide = iframeDocument.getElementsByClassName('deckheader');

        // Hide those elements
        for (let i = elementsToHide.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            elementsToHide[i].style.display = 'none';
        }
    };
}

// Call the function to hide elements
hideDeckHeaders();
```
```

### Explanation:

1. **Iframe Definition**: The `<iframe>` tag is used to load the specific Moxfield URL. It has a width of 100% and height of 500px to make it fit nicely within your note.

2. **JavaScript Function**:
   - The function `hideDeckHeaders()` retrieves the iframe by using `getElementById()`.
   - It attaches an `onload` event to ensure that the content is fully loaded before trying to manipulate it.
   - Inside the `onload`, the code accesses the iframe's document.
   - It finds all elements with the class name `deckheader` and sets their display style to `'none'`, effectively hiding them.

3. **Calling the Function**: The function `hideDeckHeaders()` is called immediately to trigger the hidden elements when the iframe loads.

### Important Considerations:
- **Same-Origin Policy**: Moxfield's website must allow embedding via iframes without CORS restrictions. If the website does not permit embedding or uses security features (like `X-Frame-Options`), you will not be able to manipulate its DOM. In the case of Moxfield, this typically shouldn't be an issue, but it's worth confirming by inspecting the site's headers.
  
- **Testing**: Test the functionality in your Obsidian note to ensure the script works as expected after loading the page.

By following these steps, you should be able to hide elements with the `deckheader` class on the Moxfield deck page embedded in your Obsidian note.
User: make javascript to hide the class deckheader on the website it's injected into
Assistant:  you want to create a JavaScript snippet that can be injected into a webpage to hide elements with the class `deckheader`, you can use the following code. This JavaScript will look for all elements with the class `deckheader` and set their display style to `none`, effectively hiding them.

### JavaScript Code Snippet

You can use this JavaScript code snippet directly in your browser's console, or if you're using a tool that allows script injection, you could embed it there. Here's the code:

```javascript
// Function to hide elements with class 'deckheader'
function hideDeckHeaders() {
    // Query all elements with the class 'deckheader'
    const elementsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName('deckheader');

    // Hide each element found
    while (elementsToHide.length > 0) {
        elementsToHide[0].style.display = 'none';
    }
}

// Call the function to hide elements
hideDeckHeaders();
```

### Explanation:

1. **Function Definition**: The function `hideDeckHeaders()` performs the task of hiding the elements.
   
2. **Getting Elements**: It uses `document.getElementsByClassName('deckheader')` to get all elements with the class name `deckheader`. This returns a live HTMLCollection.

3. **Hiding Elements**: The `while` loop continues to remove the first element from the collection until there are no more elements left to hide. This is leveraged because the HTMLCollection is live and updates as elements are removed.

### How to Use:

1. **Injecting via Console**: If you want to run this directly on the Moxfield website or any other page, you can:
   - Open the webpage.
   - Open the browser's Developer Tools (often F12 or right-click and select "Inspect").
   - Go to the "Console" tab.
   - Paste the JavaScript code and press Enter.

2. **Injecting via Bookmarklet**: If you prefer to make this reusable, you can create a bookmarklet:
   - Create a new bookmark in your browser.
   - Set the URL of the bookmark to:
     ```
     javascript:(function(){ const elementsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName('deckheader'); while (elementsToHide.length > 0) { elementsToHide[0].style.display = 'none'; } })();
     ```
   - Click this bookmark when you're on the page to execute the script.

3. **Using in Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey**: If you're using a userscript manager, you could create a new script with this functionality to run it automatically on certain websites.

### Important Considerations:

- **Site Variability**: The class name and structure of the target website may change. The given script works under the assumption that the class names remain unchanged.
- **Webpage Security**: Some websites may have Content Security Policy (CSP) rules that could block inline scripts or external script execution from being modified. Always ensure that you have the right to modify content on the web page based on terms of service.

By using the above JavaScript code, you can effectively hide all elements of class `deckheader` on the specified page or any other where it's injected.
User: how do I compile to JS (from TS) manually for an obsidian plugin? 
Assistant:  manually compile TypeScript (TS) to JavaScript (JS) for an Obsidian plugin, you'll need to set up a TypeScript development environment. Here are the steps you would typically follow to achieve this:

### 1. Set Up Your Development Environment

If you haven’t already, you need to set up a project directory for your Obsidian plugin. This includes installing Node.js, if you haven't yet.

#### Install Node.js
Download and install the latest version of Node.js from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/). This will also install `npm`, the package manager for Node.js.

#### Create Plugin Directory
Create a new directory for your plugin. Navigate to your desired location in the terminal and run:

```bash
mkdir my-obsidian-plugin
cd my-obsidian-plugin
```

### 2. Initialize a New Node.js Project

Run the following command to create a `package.json` file that manages your project dependencies:

```bash
npm init -y
```

### 3. Install TypeScript

Install TypeScript as a development dependency:

```bash
npm install typescript --save-dev
```

### 4. Create a `tsconfig.json` File

This configuration file tells the TypeScript compiler (tsc) how to compile your TypeScript code. Create a `tsconfig.json` file in the root of your plugin directory:

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6",               // Set ECMAScript target version
    "module": "commonjs",          // Specify module code generation
    "outDir": "./dist",            // Redirect output structure to this directory
    "rootDir": "./src",            // Specify the root directory of input files
    "strict": true,                 // Enable all strict type-checking options
    "esModuleInterop": true,        // Enables emit interoperability between CommonJS and ES Modules
    "skipLibCheck": true            // Skip type checking of declaration files
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*"                      // Include all TS files in the src directory
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"                  // Exclude node_modules directory
  ]
}
```

This configuration sets the target to ES6 and places compiled JavaScript files in a `dist` directory while considering TypeScript files from a `src` directory.

### 5. Create Your TypeScript Files

Create a folder named `src` in your project directory to hold your TypeScript files. For example:

```bash
mkdir src
```

Inside the `src` folder, create your plugin file (e.g., `main.ts`). 

### 6. Compile TypeScript to JavaScript

You can compile your TypeScript files to JavaScript using the TypeScript compiler (`tsc`). Run the following command in your terminal:

```bash
npx tsc
```

This will read your `tsconfig.json` and compile the files from the `src` directory to the `dist` directory, where you will find your JavaScript files.

### 7. Watch for Changes (Optional)

If you want to automatically recompile TypeScript files whenever you make changes, you can use the `--watch` flag:

```bash
npx tsc --watch
```

This way, it will monitor your TypeScript files for changes and automatically compile them to JavaScript.

### 8. Load Your Plugin in Obsidian

After compilation, make sure you have the `manifest.json` file in the root directory of your plugin. Update it to reflect the output files in the `dist` directory, specifically the main entry point to your compiled JavaScript file. 

For example:

```json
{
  "id": "my-plugin-id",
  "name": "My Plugin Name",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "minAppVersion": "0.9.7",
  "description": "A brief description of your plugin.",
  "main": "dist/main.js",

### 9. Reload Your Plugin

After you've compiled the JavaScript and updated the manifest, reload Obsidian to load your plugin. You can do this via the command palette or by restarting the app.

### Summary

Following these steps, you should be able to compile TypeScript to JavaScript manually for your Obsidian plugin. This workflow allows you to harness TypeScript's features while maintaining compatibility with the Obsidian plugin system.
User: dataview current note name
Assistant:  Obsidian, if you want to get the current note's name using Dataview, you can use inline functions within a Dataview query.

### Using Dataview Inline Code

To retrieve the current note's name, you can use the `this` keyword in a Dataview inline query. Here’s how you can do it:

#### Step 1: Create a Query Block

You can put the following code in a note:

```markdown
```dataview
TABLE this.file.name AS "Current Note Name"
```
```

### Explanation:

- **`this.file.name`**: This snippet uses `this` to refer to the current note context. The `file.name` property retrieves the name of the note without the file extension (for example, if your note is `My Note.md`, it will just display `My Note`).

- **`TABLE`**: This command is used to format the output in a table form, but you can also use `LIST` or `TASK` depending on how you want to present the information.

### Step 2: View the Information

When you preview the note, the Dataview query will display the current note's name.

### Additional Details

You can also use:
- **`this.file.path`**: To get the full path of the current note, including the file extension.
- **`this.file.link`**: To create a link to the current note.

### Note

Make sure that the Dataview plugin is enabled in your Obsidian settings for the above code to work. Dataview queries can be inserted anywhere in your markdown notes where you want to output the information dynamically, based on the context of the note you are viewing.
User: create a metabind button that creates the admonition Mac-app with a title = to a prompted field, and a markdown embeded link in the body of the callout. prompt for the link
Assistant:  create a `metabind` button in Obsidian that generates an admonition of type "Mac-app" with a title prompted from the user and an embedded link in the body, you can use a custom JavaScript code snippet. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to implement this.

### Step 1: Create the Markdown Button

You will first need to create a button in your Markdown note using the `metabind` functionality.

#### Sample Code for the Button

You can use the following code snippet directly in your Markdown note:

```markdown
### Create Mac App Admonition

```metabind
Create Mac App Admonition
```

```

### Step 2: Create the JavaScript Function

Next, you will implement the logic for the button. Use the following JavaScript code snippet as the action that the button will trigger:

```javascript
const button = document.createElement("button");
button.innerHTML = "Create Mac App Admonition";
button.onclick = async () => {
    // Prompt for the title of the admonition
    const title = await app.prompts.input("Enter the Title for Mac App Admonition:");
    if (!title) {
        app.notifications.show("Admonition title is required.");
        return;
    }

    // Prompt for the link to embed
    const link = await app.prompts.input("Enter the link to embed in the admonition:");
    if (!link) {
        app.notifications.show("Link is required for the admonition.");
        return;
    }

    // Create the markdown for the admonition
    const admonition = `
> [!Mac-app]
> **${title}**
> For more information, visit [this link](${link}).
`;

    // Insert the admonition into the current note
    const activeFile = app.workspace.getActiveFile();
    await app.vault.modify(activeFile, activeFile.content + admonition);
};

// Append the button to the Markdown section
document.querySelector('.markdown-preview-view').appendChild(button);
```

### Explanation:

1. **Button Element**: A button is created with the text "Create Mac App Admonition".

2. **Prompt for Title**: When the button is clicked, it prompts the user for the title of the admonition with the first prompt.

3. **Prompt for Link**: A second prompt is displayed to get the link to embed within the admonition.

4. **Markdown for Admonition**: The code constructs the markdown formatted admonition using the collected title and link.

5. **Inserting the Admonition**: Finally, it gets the active file and appends the admonition to the current note's content.

6. **Rendering the Button**: The button is appended to the markdown preview section.

### Notes:

- Make sure to run the script in an environment that allows direct DOM manipulations, as typical markdown editors won't allow raw JavaScript execution. This script would function in a custom environment that supports such actions.
- This setup requires you to have JavaScript execution capabilities, and you must ensure the prompts and notifications work within Obsidian, as this may vary depending on your specific Obsidian installation and any permissions granted to scripts.

### Final Output

When the button is clicked, it will prompt the user for a title and a link, creating an admonition block directly in the markdown note they are currently editing. The complete admonition follows the format you want: it is titled based on user input and contains a markdown link to the provided URL.

By implementing this, users can easily create well-formatted admonitions for their notes in Obsidian with interactive inputs.
User: templates plugin, read list array as multiple values
Assistant:  you're working with the **Templates** plugin in Obsidian and want to read a list (array) as multiple values to output more than one entry from that list into your notes, you can use a combination of inline CSS or JavaScript for a bit more control on how you render those values.

### Example Using Variables in the Templates Plugin

Let's say you have a list of items you want to reference in your template. Here's how you can set up your template.

1. **Define your array**: You can define your array of values within a template.

2. **Iterate and display**: Use a simple syntax to iterate over the values and display them.

#### Example Template Setup

1. **Create a Template File**

In your templates folder, create a new file named `myListTemplate.md` (or whatever you prefer).

```markdown
---
array: ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date"]
---

## My Fruits

<% for (let fruit of tp.frontmatter.array) { %>
- <%= fruit %>
<% } %>
```

### Explanation:

- **Frontmatter**: The array is defined in the frontmatter section. Using YAML frontmatter allows the array to exist outside of typical content, making it easier to reference programmatically.

- **Iterate**: The `<% ... %>` syntax is used to run JavaScript code. The

User: Develop a show don't tell activity for 11th grade english focusing on descriptive language
Assistant:  Show, Don’t Tell Activity for 11th Grade English

**Objective**: Students will improve their descriptive writing skills by practicing the “show, don’t tell” technique, enhancing their ability to evoke imagery and emotions in their writing.

**Duration**: 60-75 minutes

**Materials Needed**:
- Whiteboard and markers
- Sentence cards (with “telling” sentences)
- Writing notebooks or paper
- Pens or pencils

### Activity Outline

#### 1. **Introduction to the Concept (10 minutes)**
   - Begin with a brief introduction to the “show, don’t tell” technique. Explain that "telling" conveys information directly, while "showing" allows readers to experience the details through descriptions and sensory language.
   - **Example**: Write a “telling” sentence on the board:
     - **Telling**: “It was a cold winter day.”
     - **Showing**: “A biting wind whisked through the streets, and snowflakes danced in the air, settling on the bare branches that shivered against the gray sky.”
   - Discuss the differences and how the second sentence uses imagery to create a vivid picture and evoke feelings.

#### 2. **Telling vs. Showing Exercise (15 minutes)**
   - Hand out sentence cards with “telling” sentences (see examples below).
   - **Telling Sentences Examples**:
     - “She was sad.”
     - “He ran quickly.”
     - “The food was delicious.”
     - “The room was messy.”
     - “It was a beautiful sunset.”
   - In pairs or small groups, have students rewrite these sentences to make them more descriptive, focusing on “showing” rather than “telling.”
   - Students can use sensory details (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) to enhance their descriptions.

#### 3. **Sharing and Discussion (15 minutes)**
   - Invite students to share one or two of their rewritten sentences with the class.
   - As they share, discuss the imagery they created. Ask the rest of the class questions like:
     - What senses did the writer engage?
     - How did the description change the tone or emotion of the sentence?

#### 4. **Creative Writing Prompt (20 minutes)**
   - Give students a specific scenario or emotion to write about, encouraging them to utilize the “show, don’t tell” technique. For example:
     - Write a paragraph describing a moment of joy, fear, anger, or nostalgia without stating the emotion directly.
     - Alternatively, provide a scene prompt such as:
       - “A bustling marketplace” or “A rainy day at the beach.”
   - Remind them to focus on using descriptive language, sensory details, and vivid imagery.

#### 5. **Sharing and Peer Feedback (15 minutes)**
   - Have students share their paragraphs with a partner or in small groups, encouraging them to provide constructive feedback on how effectively their peers utilized the “show, don’t tell” technique.
   - Ask them to identify which sensory details stood out and how the use of descriptive language affected their understanding of the emotion or scene.

#### 6. **Closure (5 minutes)**
   - Conclude the lesson by reflecting on what they learned about descriptive writing. Ask students to share how they plan to incorporate the “show, don’t tell” technique in their future writing projects.
   - Reinforce the idea that strong descriptive writing can make their narratives more engaging and powerful.

### Assessment
- Participation in group work and discussions.
- Quality of rewritten sentences demonstrating the “show, don’t tell” approach.
- Engagement in the creative writing prompt, with a focus on the use of descriptive language.

### Homework (Optional)

This activity not only enhances students' writing skills but also encourages creative thinking, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of effective descriptive language techniques.
User: write me an obsidian dataview query for any note that includes that tag software
Assistant:  create a Dataview query in Obsidian that retrieves any note that includes the tag `#software`, you can use the following code block in your note:

```markdown
```dataview
table file.name as "Software Notes"
from #software
```
```

### Explanation:

1. **Query Type**: The `table` keyword is used to display the results in a tabular format.
  
2. **File Name**: The `file.name` property is selected to show the title of each note that contains the specified tag.

3. **Source Specification**: The `from #software` line indicates that the query should pull notes that are tagged with `#software`.

### Additional Options:

- If you want to include more details from the notes, you can modify the table to include other fields, such as `file.mtime` (modified time) or any other attributes you are using in your notes.

#### Example with Additional Fields

```markdown
```dataview
table file.name as "Software Notes", file.mtime as "Last Modified"
from #software
sort file.mtime desc
```
```

In this example:
- `file.mtime` adds the last modified date of the notes for additional context.
- The `sort file.mtime desc` line sorts the results so that the most recently modified notes appear first.

### Using the Query:

1. Simply copy and paste the desired Dataview query block into any note in Obsidian where you'd like the list of software-related notes to appear.

2. Make sure that the Dataview plugin is enabled in your Obsidian settings for the query to work.

Once the query is added to your note, it will automatically update to show any notes tagged with `#software`, making it easy to organize and reference those entries in your Obsidian vault.
User: how do I view a list of all frontmatter proerties in my vault in obsidian
Assistant:  view a list of all frontmatter properties in your Obsidian vault, you can utilize the Dataview plugin to create a query that retrieves and displays the frontmatter attributes from your notes. This allows you to see the different properties you've defined in various markdown files.

Here’s how to set it up:

### Step-by-Step Instructions

1. **Ensure Dataview Plugin is Enabled**: Make sure you have the Dataview plugin installed and enabled in your Obsidian settings.

2. **Create a New Note**: Open a new note where you want to display the list of frontmatter properties.

3. **Add the Dataview Query**: Use the following Dataview query to retrieve all frontmatter fields across your vault:

```markdown
```dataview
table file.name as "File Name", file.frontmatter as "Frontmatter"
from "" 
where file.frontmatter != null 
```
```

### Explanation of the Query

- **`table`**: This keyword indicates that you want to display the queried results in a table format.
- **`file.name`**: This retrieves the name of the file (note) for easy reference.
- **`file.frontmatter`**: This displays all the frontmatter properties for each note. 
- **`from ""`**: This specifies the source of the notes. An empty string means it searches your entire vault.
- **`where file.frontmatter != null`**: This condition filters out notes that do not have any frontmatter.

### Viewing the Results

1. Once you've added the query to your note, exit the edit mode (or press the preview button) to see the results.
2. The output will list all the notes that contain frontmatter, along with their corresponding frontmatter properties.

### Expanded View with Property Lists

If you want to view each frontmatter property separately, you can modify the output. Here’s an example that breaks down each noted property:

```markdown
```dataview
table file.name as "File Name", file.frontmatter.property1, file.frontmatter.property2, file.frontmatter.property3
from "" 
where contains(file.frontmatter, "property1") or contains(file.frontmatter, "property2") or contains(file.frontmatter, "property3")
```
```

### Note

- Replace `property1`, `property2`, `property3`, etc., with the actual names of your frontmatter properties as needed.

- If you are unsure of what properties are being used in your vault, you might first run the initial query and examine the frontmatter output for a few notes to identify the most common properties.

By using these queries, you can effectively explore and manage the frontmatter metadata across your Obsid
