Simple markdown to furigana rendering plugin for displaying Japanese text with furigana in Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).
As of 1.2.0, the plugin is no longer limited to Japanese Text
Based off of markdown-it-ruby syntax. All rendering is done post-processing when previewing, so your notes are not modified.

The plugin expects the first section to be Kanji or Kana, and furigana sections to be Hiragana or Katakana. If more than one furigana section, there must be as many as the number of characters in the first section. Sections of furigana can also be empty.
Also check out the Obsidian Furigana plugin if you prefer to use the ruby syntax directly in your notes.
