My Changes

Remove Obsidian Comments

Info
Examples here have a space between the first and second % this is to avoid them from being removed before the escape character is implemented

I added a new command line flag —remove-obsidian-comments This is implemented as a post_processor removing anything between two % which Obsidian uses to denote comments

This isn't a comment
% % This is a comment % %

The current version of this post-processor removes in-line comments as-well as block comments but it does not support escape characters yet. The plan is to add the ”\” as the escape character so I can have mock comments in my notes.

% % This comment would be removed % %
 
% %
This comment would also be removed 
% %
 
\% % This comment wouldn't be removed \% %
