Inline fields multiline lists and texts
See original GitHub issueI would like to have a nicer syntax for multiline lists in inline fields.
Right now we have two ways to define fields
front matter
---
my-list:
- long item with commas,,,,and quotes"""" etc
- another item
---
and inline field
my-list:: long item with commas,,,,and quotes""""
my-list:: another item
front matter approach has its own flaws with escaping single and double quotes, that I don’t want to touch here
so I am more interested in the better way of handling multiline lists in inline fields with something like
my-list:: @@@
- long item with commas,,,,and quotes""""
- another item
@@@
@@@ -is just a marker for multiline field
This approach will also allow setting multiline text variables
my-multi-line-text:: @@@"
Really long text with any possible characters including "quotes",
line breaks
empty lines
etc
"@@@

I’m still fiddling with some performance things, but Dataview does have a full markdown parser implementation now (that’s just not hooked up to the indexer): https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/blob/master/src/data/parse/markdown.ts.
We can afford to be more aggressive with a real markdown parser, since it includes indentation information & other things for paragaphs. So we could simply use indented codeblock syntax:
I see this feature-request has been quite since January. This would make list of links in a field much more readable.
From my very limited perspective if the following list format would be supported that would drastically improve readability of long list:
