Description

The Extract Highlights plugin is designed to help Obsidian users quickly and easily extract relevant information from their markdown notes. With this plugin, you can highlight sentences or text within your note using a variety of delimiters such as ==, `, and`. The highlighted text can then be copied to your clipboard in a bullet-list format, allowing you to easily paste it into another note or document.

The plugin offers a range of customization options, including the ability to add footnotes, bold highlights, and create an ad-hoc map-of-content (MOC) by turning each highlight into an Obsidian link. You can also choose to include or exclude the note title in the heading and customize the text. The plugin also includes a hotkey for highlighting and un-highlighting sentences, making it easy to use.

With Extract Highlights, you can streamline your research process, extract key information from articles, and create atomic notes with ease. Whether you're working on a project or simply trying to stay organized, this plugin is sure to be a valuable addition to your Obsidian workflow.

New Feature

Create Contextual Quotes in "Note Explode Mode"

Based on @ngirard's ideas https://github.com/akaalias/extract-highlights-plugin/issues/6 🎉

An optional new setting that will retain the full line of a highlight for the quote in the exploded notes.

How this works:

Note the one highlight in line 3:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, ==quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat==. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
Resulting note ("quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip….md")

Check out the quote under "Source": It's the full line with the highlight embedded giving context for your transcription etc.

## Source
> Ut enim ad minim veniam, ==quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat==. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.[^1]
