# Unicode Text Formatter
|
||
|
||
An [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) plugin that transforms selected text into Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols — Sans-Serif Bold, Italic, and Bold-Italic — for use in LinkedIn and Facebook posts.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Unicode Bold** — converts letters and digits to sans-serif bold (𝗔𝗕𝗖 / 𝗮𝗯𝗰 / 𝟬𝟭𝟮)
|
||
- **Unicode Italic** — converts letters to sans-serif italic (𝘈𝘉𝘊 / 𝘢𝘣𝘤)
|
||
- **Unicode Bold Italic** — converts letters to sans-serif bold italic (𝘼𝘽𝘾 / 𝙖𝙗𝙘)
|
||
- **Remove Unicode Formatting** — converts any formatted Unicode characters back to plain ASCII
|
||
- Non-mapped characters (punctuation, spaces, emoji, etc.) are passed through unchanged
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
1. Select text in the editor
|
||
2. Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl/Cmd + P`)
|
||
3. Run one of:
|
||
- **Format as Unicode Bold**
|
||
- **Format as Unicode Italic**
|
||
- **Format as Unicode Bold Italic**
|
||
- **Remove Unicode Formatting** — reverses any of the above back to plain ASCII
|
||
|
||
The selected text is replaced in place.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
### Manual
|
||
|
||
1. Build the plugin (see [Development](#development)) or download a release
|
||
2. Copy `main.js` and `manifest.json` to your vault at:
|
||
```
|
||
<VaultFolder>/.obsidian/plugins/unicode-text-formatter/
|
||
```
|
||
3. In Obsidian: **Settings → Community Plugins → Installed Plugins** — enable **Unicode Text Formatter**
|
||
|
||
## Development
|
||
|
||
Requirements: Node.js ≥ 16
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install
|
||
npm run dev # watch mode — recompiles on save
|
||
npm run build # one-time production build
|
||
npm run lint # ESLint check
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Project structure
|
||
|
||
| File | Purpose |
|
||
|------|---------|
|
||
| `src/unicode-maps.ts` | Builds character lookup maps from Unicode code point ranges |
|
||
| `src/formatter.ts` | `transformText(text, style)` and `cleanText(text)` — character mapping functions |
|
||
| `src/commands.ts` | Registers the four editor commands with the Obsidian plugin API |
|
||
| `src/main.ts` | Plugin entry point — calls `registerCommands` on load |
|
||
|
||
### Unicode blocks used
|
||
|
||
| Style | Uppercase | Lowercase | Digits |
|
||
|-------|-----------|-----------|--------|

|
||
| Sans-Serif Italic | U+1D608–U+1D621 | U+1D622–U+1D63B | — |

|
||
|
||
## Releasing
|
||
|
||
1. Update `manifest.json` with the new version and minimum Obsidian version
|
||
2. Update `versions.json`: `"new-version": "min-obsidian-version"`
|
||
3. Create a GitHub release tagged with the exact version number
|
||
4. Attach `manifest.json` and `main.js` as release assets
|
||
|
||
> You can bump the version automatically:
|
||
> ```bash
|
||
> npm version patch # or minor / major
|
||
> ```
