Integrate with Obsidian Publish

Hi,

I really like the dataview plug-in and thank you for the great work. I am exploring the possibility of build-up a research paper list based on Obsidian-publish, Obsidian-citation, and Obsidian-dataview. A prototype would be something like this. So far in the prototype, I have to manually copy and paste the citations into the notes until I came across Obsidian-dataview. I believe the query and visualization feature of Obsidian-dataview could be the cornerstone of my project.

So far my progress is that I am able to use obsidian-citation to generate paper notes with YAML header and I can use Obsidian-dataview to generate beautiful tables offline. But the problem is that the table cannot be carried over to Obsidian-publish since the markdown file only has a code block and the table is generated during the preview. I am wondering whether and how I could put this table online?

I understand that it is probably impossible to have dynamic render in Obsidian-publish. But is it possible for obsidian-dataview to generate the table in markdown code or HTML code so that I could append the table in the .md file before publishing? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks again for this great plug-in!

Best, Derek Da Kuang

I just came across this same issue. In fact I actually just bought publish now that I had dataview and could easily get my recipes and films and stuff organized enough to put online where my husband could get to them. It broke my heart when I saw that my lovely dataview lists couldn’t be published. Just broke my heart.

Generating static HTML which you can then copy+paste into the markdown file seems doable (it could be made into a command in the command pallette). I will add it to the backlog.

Even better would be being able to directly have Obsidian Publish support dataviews, though I don’t think that’s possible right now.
