The Interlinear Glossing plugin adds support for creating interlinear glosses in Obsidian, commonly used in linguistics and language documentation. It allows users to format glosses with multiple aligned levels of annotation, such as source language text, metalanguage translations, and transcriptions. Additional features include support for free translations, source text annotations, and customizable styles for enhanced readability. The plugin is especially useful for conlang creators and linguists who need precise and structured glossing capabilities within their notes.
The TIPA IPA Support plugin adds native support for TIPA notation, allowing phonetic transcriptions to render correctly as Unicode IPA symbols inside notes. It focuses on users working with linguistics, phonetics or language documentation who prefer LaTeX style input rather than direct Unicode typing. The plugin converts common TIPA commands such as \textipa{}, \tipa{}, \nt{}, and \wt{} into readable phonetic symbols and handles both inline expressions and fenced code blocks. Rendering works consistently in editing and reading modes for code blocks, which helps when reviewing structured linguistic examples. Inline syntax does not appear in live preview, a limitation that is clearly stated and predictable in use.
The Natural Language Syntax Highlighting plugin enhances the Obsidian editor by highlighting different parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions, directly in your notes. This feature helps improve readability and linguistic analysis, making it particularly useful for writers, editors, and language enthusiasts. Users can customize the colors for each part of speech through the plugin settings and toggle the highlighting on or off using a command in the Command palette.
