 The Obsidian-Excalidraw plugin integrates [Excalidraw](https://excalidraw.com/), a feature rich sketching tool, into Obsidian. You can store and edit Excalidraw files in your vault, you can embed drawings into your documents, and you can link to documents and other drawings to/and from Excalidraw. For a showcase of Excalidraw features, please read my blog post [here](https://www.zsolt.blog/2021/03/showcasing-excalidraw.html) and/or watch the videos below.

-The script will convert your drawing into a slideshow presentation.
-If you select an arrow or line element, the script will use that as the presentation path.
-If you select nothing, but the file has a hidden presentation path, the script will use that for determining the slide sequence.
-If there are frames, the script will use the frames for the presentation. Frames are played in alphabetical order of their titles.
+## Presentation options
+- If you select an arrow or line element, the script will use that as the presentation path.
+- If you select nothing, but the file has a hidden presentation path, the script will use that for determining the slide sequence.
+- If there are frames, the script will use the frames for the presentation. Frames are played in alphabetical order of their titles.
+# Keyboard shortcuts and modifier keys
+**Forward**: Arrow Down, Arrow Right, or SPACE
+**Backward**: Arrow Up, Arrow Left
+**Finish presentation**: Backspace, ESC (I had issues with ESC not working in full screen presentation mode on Mac)
+
+**Run presentation in a window**: Hold down the ALT/OPT modifier key when clicking the presentation script button
+**Continue presentation**: Hold down SHIFT when clicking the presentation script button. (The feature also works in combination with the ALT/OPT modifier to start the presentation in a window). The feature will only resume while you are within the same Obsidian session (i.e. if you restart Obsidian, slideshow will no longer remember where you were). I have two use cases in mind for this feature: 
+1) When you are designing your presentation you may want to test how a slide looks. Using this feature you can get back to where you left off by starting the presentation with SHIFT.
+2) During presentation you may want to exit presentation mode to show something additional to your audience. You stop the presentation, show the additional thing you wanted, now you want to continue from where you left off. Hold down SHIFT when clicking the slideshow button.

+## Fixed
+- Fixing issues that surfaced after upgrading to Obsidian 1.6.0
+  - Fixed Excalidraw hover previews
+  - Cursor for editing links, text elements, and frame names became virtually invisible if Obsidian was in dark mode and Excalidraw in light mode and vica versa.
+  - Rendering Excalidraw drawings in Markdown views, right after Obsidian loaded did not work.
+- I implemented more graceful fail if you submitted a malformed SVG for SVG to Excalidraw conversation. [#1768](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1768)
+
+## New
+- New setting under "Save" in plugin settings to NOT decompress JSON when switching to Markdown view mode. For details see description under "Save" settings. The benefit is smaller file size and fewer results in the Obsidian search. If you want to edit the JSON, you can always manually decompress JSON in markdown view mode with the command palette action "Excalidraw: Decompress JSON".

+
+## Updates from Excalidraw.com
+- Improved undo management.
+- Improved handle to scale images from the side.
+- Changed arrow binding behavior.
+- Many other minor fixes and improvements.
+
+## New
+- Introduced image caching for nested (embedded) Excalidraw drawings on the scene. This enhancement should lead to improved scene loading times, especially when dealing with numerous embedded Excalidraw drawings.
+- Added new OCR Command Palette actions. Users can now re-run OCR and run OCR for selected elements.
+
+## Fixed
+- Fixed an issue where cropping an embeddable PDF frame in the Excalidraw Scene caused distortion based on the embeddable element's aspect ratio. ([#1756](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1756))
+- Removed the listing of ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Embedded files${String.fromCharCode(96)} section when adding a "Back of the note card". ([#1754](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1754))
+- Resolved the issue where closing the on-screen keyboard with the keyboard hide button of your phone, instead of tapping somewhere else on the Excalidraw scene, did not resize the scene correctly. ([#1729](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1729))
+- Fixed the problem where pasting a text element as text into markdown incorrectly pasted the text to the end of the MD note, with line breaks as rendered on screen in Excalidraw. Also addressed the issue where pasting an image element as an image resulted in it being pasted to the end of the document. ([#1749](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1749))
+- Corrected the color inversion of embedded images when changing the theme from light to dark, then back from dark to light, and again from light to dark on the third change.
+- Addressed the problem where cropping an image while unlocking and rotating it in the cropper did not reflect the rotation. Note that rotating the image in Cropper required switching to markdown view mode, changing the "locked": true property to false, then switching back to Excalidraw mode. This issue likely impacted only a very few power users. ([#1745](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1745))

+## Two minor fixes
+- Scaling of LaTeX formulas when the formula is changed
+- If the back of the note card only contains a block embed ${String.fromCharCode(96)}![[embed]]${String.fromCharCode(96)} this got removed when saving the Excalidraw file. This issue has been present since November, 2021 (v1.4.9).
+`,
+"2.1.5":`
+## New
+- Save "Snap to objects" with the scene state. If this is the only change you make to the scene, force save it using CTRL+S (note, use CTRL on Mac as well).
+- Added "Copy markdown link" to the context menu.
+
+## Fixed
+- Paste operation occasionally duplicated text elements.
+- Pasting multiple instances of the same image from excalidraw.com or another instance of Obsidian, or pasting an image from anywhere and making copies with ALT/OPT + drag immediately after pasting (before autosave triggered) led to broken images when reopening the drawing.
+- CTRL/CMD+Click on a Text Element with an element link did not work (previously, you had to click the top right link indicator). Now, you can click anywhere on the element.
+- Hover preview for elements with a link only worked when hovering over the element link. Now, you can hover anywhere. If there are multiple elements with links, the top-level element will take precedence.
+- Link navigation within drawing when the "Focus on Existing Tab" feature is enabled under "Links, transclusion and TODOs" in settings works again.
+- If a link points to a back-of-the-card section or block the drawing will automatically switch to markdown view mode and navigate to the block or section.
+- DynamicSytle, dark mode when canvas background is set to transparent.
+- Scale to maintain the aspect ratio of a markdown notes embedded as images.
+- You can now borrow interactive markdown embeds to tables, blockquotes, list elements and callouts - not just paragraphs.
+- Back of the drawing cards:
+    - Leaving the Section Name empty when creating the first back of the card note resulted in an error.
+    - If you add the markdown comment (${String.fromCharCode(96)}%%${String.fromCharCode(96)}) directly before ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)}, a trailing ${String.fromCharCode(96)}#${String.fromCharCode(96)} will be added to your document, when adding a back of the card note. This is to hide the markdown comment from the card. The trailing (empty) ${String.fromCharCode(96)}#${String.fromCharCode(96)} will not be visible in reading mode, pdf exports, and when publishing with Obsidian Publish.
+Here's a sample markdown structure of your document:
+
+${String.fromCharCode(96,96,96)}markdown
+---
+excalidraw-plugin: parsed
+---
+# Your back of the card section

+#
+%%
+# Text Elements

+${String.fromCharCode(96,96,96)}
+`,
+"2.1.4":`
+## Fixed
+- Fixed the **aspect ratio** of an Excalidraw embedded within another Excalidraw **not updating**. [#1707](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1707)
+- Some plugins automatically add document properties to all files in the Vault. Users with this configuration were **unable to run Excalidraw scripts**. Excalidraw now removes document properties from the script before execution.
+- The very last markdown edit sometimes **wasn't saved when immediately switching from Markdown to Excalidraw View**. I now force a save before switching views. 
+- The setting to disable/enable ${String.fromCharCode(96)}CTRL/CMD + CLICK on text with [[links]] or [](links) to open them${String.fromCharCode(96)} works again. [#1704](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1704)
+- **Annotation and cropping** of images in Markdown notes now also work **with Markdown links that have encoded characters** e.g.: ${String.fromCharCode(96)}![images with](markdown%20links)${String.fromCharCode(96)}.
+- Solved compatibility issue of **Taskbone OCR on Android**.
+
+## New
+- New settings:
+  - Under "Appearance and Behavior": Option to **render Excalidraw file as an image in Markdown reading mode**. This setting is disabled by default. [#1706](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1706), [#1705](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1705)
+  - Under "Embedding Excalidraw ... and Exporting"/"Export Settings": Option to **render Excalidraw file as an image when exporting to PDF** in Markdown mode. This option is disabled by default. When enabled, exporting an Excalidraw drawing in markdown view mode to PDF will render the image on the page.
+- **Enhanced annotation and cropping** of images in Markdown documents:
+  - Newly embedded **links will now follow the style of the original link**. If the original format was a ${String.fromCharCode(96)}![markdown](link)${String.fromCharCode(96)}, the annotated file will follow this format. For ${String.fromCharCode(96)}[[wiki links]]${String.fromCharCode(96)}, it will follow that style. Additionally, if an alias was specified like ${String.fromCharCode(96)}[[link|alias]]${String.fromCharCode(96)}, the annotated or cropped image will retain the alias.
+  - Introduced a new setting under "Saving" titled **"Preserve image size when annotating"**. This setting is disabled by default. When enabled, the embed link replacing the annotated image will maintain the size of the original image.
+- Option to **automatically embed the scene in exported PNG and SVG image files**. Including the scene will allow users to open the picture on Excalidraw.com or in another Obsidian Vault as an editable Excalidraw file.New setting is under the Export category. The new frontmatter tag is: ${String.fromCharCode(96)}excalidraw-export-embed-scene: true/false${String.fromCharCode(96)}.

+## Quality of Life Improvements
+- The "Insert Any File" option that disappeared from the Command Palette is now restored. [#1690](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1690)
+- Improved two-finger pan speed.
+- Fixed text wrapping issue that caused text to jump around when editing text in a sticky note when the Obsidian zoom level was not set to 100%.
+- Mask Generation in [ExcaliAI](https://youtu.be/3G8hsV-V-gQ) Edit Image now works properly again. [#1684](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1684)
+- Fixed aspect ratio change for .jpg, .png, .bmp, .webp, .SVG (non-Excalidraw) images. Previously, if the image was distorted (i.e. you held SHIFT while resizing it), it would revert to the original aspect ratio upon saving the drawing. Resetting the aspect ratio is the desired behavior for nested Excalidraw drawings since you might have changed the source image and want it to still display with the correct aspect ratio, however for other image files, the behavior is not desired. [#1698](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1698)
+- The command palette action "Set selected image element size to 100% of original" now works even on freshly pasted images, not just after saving the drawing. ([#1695](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1698))
+- If a text element has an element link (CTRL/CMD+K), but the link was not reflected in the Element Text, then CTRL/CMD+clicking the text element did not navigate to the link, only clicking the link indicator did. Now you can also CTRL/CMD click anywhere on the text element and it will navigate. Note, however, that links in the text element text take precedence over element links.
+`,
+"2.1.1":`
+## Fixed
+- Printing a markdown page that has an Excalidraw drawing on the back side, resulted in an empty PDF. This is now resolved.
+
+## New
+- Reduce the visual clutter by fading out the Excalidraw markup in markdown view mode. This feature needs to be enabled in plugin settings. You'll find the setting under ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Miscellaneous features${String.fromCharCode(96)}. Look for ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Fade out Excalidraw markup${String.fromCharCode(96)}. Depending on the location of the markdown comment ${String.fromCharCode(96)}%%${String.fromCharCode(96)}, if the comment starts before ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)} then the fading will start from ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)}, if the comment is before ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Drawing${String.fromCharCode(96)} then the fading will only start with "drawing". If you delete the opening ${String.fromCharCode(96)}%%${String.fromCharCode(96)} the markup will be visible. Note, that if you place the comment before ${String.fromCharCode(96)}#Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)}, you will not be able to reference blocks in the ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)} section, because Obsidian does not index blocks within comment blocks. Image references are not effective, they will work.

+
+## New
+- Minor updates from [Excalidraw.com](https://excalidraw.com). The key change is text measurements that should result in consistent text sizing between desktop and mobile devices.
+- Now you can embed the markdown section of an Excalidraw note to your drawing. Simply select ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Insert ANY file${String.fromCharCode(96)}, choose the drawing, and select the relevant heading section to embed.
+  - This also works with "back-of-the-drawing" markdown sections. Use the context menu ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Add back-of-note Card${String.fromCharCode(96)}. The action is also available on the Command Palette and in the Excalidraw-Obsidian Tools Panel.
+- Editing an embedded markdown note is now easier. Just press Enter when the element is selected. [#1650](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1650)
+- The crosshair cursor is now hidden when the freedraw tool is active and using a pen. [#1659](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1659)
+- ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Convert markdown note to Excalidraw Drawing${String.fromCharCode(96)} now converts an existing markdown note (not just empty notes) into a drawing. The original markdown note will be on the "back side of the drawing".
+- Introducing ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Annotate image in Excalidraw${String.fromCharCode(96)}, which works very similarly to ${String.fromCharCode(96)}Crop and mask image${String.fromCharCode(96)}. You can replace an image in a markdown note or on the Obsidian Canvas with an Excalidraw drawing containing that image. You will be able to annotate the image in Excalidraw.
+- Now you can reference frames in images embedded in markdown and canvas with frame names e.g. ${String.fromCharCode(96)}![[drawing#^frame=Frame 01]]${String.fromCharCode(96)}
+- Excalidraw file format change:
+  - New frontmatter switch ${String.fromCharCode(96)}excalidraw-open-md${String.fromCharCode(96)}: If set to true, the file by default will open as a markdown file. You can switch to Excalidraw View Mode via the command palette action or by right-clicking the tab.
+  - Easter Egg: If you add a comment in front of ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)}, then the entire Excalidraw data: markdown and JSON will be commented out, thus invisible when exporting to the web. If you remove the comment from before ${String.fromCharCode(96)}# Text Elements${String.fromCharCode(96)}, then only the JSON will be commented out.
+
+Before:

+"2.0.25":`
+# New - a small change that opens big opportunities
+- You can now set a folder as the Excalidraw Template in settings (See under Basic). If a folder is provided, Excalidraw will treat drawings in that folder as templates and will prompt you to select the template to use for new drawings.
+- I updated the <a href="https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Deconstruct%20selected%20elements%20into%20new%20drawing.md">Deconstruct Selected Elements into new Drawing</a> script to accommodate the new template setting.

+Quality of Life Fixes!
+
+## Fixed
+- Text editing issue on mobile devices with an on-screen keyboard is now fixed 🥳. Previously, Excalidraw's UI fell apart when the keyboard was activated, and often even after you stopped editing, the canvas positioning was off. I hope to have solved the issue (we'll see after your testing and feedback!). This is one of those cases that seems insignificant but took enormous effort. It took me 2.5 full days of net time to figure out the root cause and the solution (this is not an exaggeration).
+- Tool buttons did not get selected on the first click.
+- Images flicker on Forced Save.
+- Hover preview fixes:
+  - ${String.fromCharCode(96)}area=${String.fromCharCode(96)}, ${String.fromCharCode(96)}group=${String.fromCharCode(96)}, ${String.fromCharCode(96)}frame=${String.fromCharCode(96)} references now display the part of the image as expected in hover preview (showed an empty preview until now).
+  - Block and section references to notes on the "back side of the drawing" now correctly show up in hover preview (showed an empty preview until now).

+  - Accessible under "Links, Transclusions, and TODOs" in plugin settings.
+
+**Enhanced Context Menu Functions for Text Containers**
+- Two new context menu functions added for containers with a text element:
+  - Right-click to select the text element only, allowing independent color changes from the container.
+  - Remove orphaned element links when the text element has a link but no longer includes a link in the text.
+

+- Alternatively, activate the laser pointer with "k" if you have a keyboard.
+

+## Fixed
+- When updating Excalidraw, some open drawings weren't automatically reopening. I hope I got this fixed (note this change will only have an effect when you receive the update after this).
+- In dark mode, the frame header is challenging to see when modified [#1568](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1568).
+
+## New
+- Crop PDF pages:
+  - Available in Excalidraw, Markdown Notes, and on the Canvas.
+  - Crop the active page from the embedded PDF viewer and insert the cropped image into the current view, both in Excalidraw and on Canvas.
+- New Command Palette Action: "Insert active PDF page as image." This action is functional in Excalidraw. If an embedded Obsidian-PDF-viewer is present, executing this command will insert the active page as an image into the Excalidraw scene.
+- Two new settings introduced:
+  - "Basic" section allows setting the folder for crop files.
+  - "Saving/filename" section enables setting the prefix for crop files.
+- PDF import now defaults to importing all pages.
+- Rounded corners now available for images.
+- Second-order links now encompass forward links from embedded Excalidraw Files.
+- Clicking a cropped file in a markdown note or on Canvas will prompt to open the original file, not just the cropper.

+- [Crop Vintage Mask Script](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Crop%20Vintage%20Mask.md) adds rounded corner mask to cropped images. Install it from the script library.

+
+## New in ExcalidrawAutomate
+- You can now specify elementId to add functions: addLine, addArrow, addRect, etc.

   - [Auto Draw for Pen](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Auto%20Draw%20for%20Pen.md): Automatically switches between the select and draw tools, based on whether a pen is being used. Supports most pens including Apple Pencil.
-  - [Hardware Eraser Support](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Hardware%20Eraser%20Support.md): Adds support for pen inversion, a.k.a. the hardware eraser on the back of your pen. Supports Windows based styluses. Does not suppoprt Apple Pencil or S-Pen.
+  - [Hardware Eraser Support](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Hardware%20Eraser%20Support.md): Adds support for pen inversion, a.k.a. the hardware eraser on the back of your pen. Supports Windows based styluses. Does not support Apple Pencil or S-Pen.
 - Added separate buttons to support copying link, area or group references to objects on the drawing. [#1063](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/1063). See [this video](https://youtu.be/yZQoJg2RCKI) for more details on how this works.
 - Hover preview will no longer trigger for image files (.png, .svg, .jpg, .gif, .webp, .bmp, .ico, .excalidraw)
 - Minor updates to the [Slideshow](https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/blob/master/ea-scripts/Slideshow.md) script. You can download the updated script from the Excalidraw script library.  The slideshow will now correctly run also when initiated in a popout window. When the drawing is in a popout window, the slideshow will not be full screen, but will only occupy the popout window. If you run the slideshow from the main Obsidian workspace, it will be displayed in full-screen mode.
