The RTL Support plugin enhances Obsidian's built-in support for right-to-left (RTL) languages by providing more control over text direction. It allows users to set individual notes to either LTR (left-to-right) or RTL (right-to-left), with the option to save this setting per file. This ensures that RTL notes, such as those in Arabic or Hebrew, are consistently displayed in the correct direction. The plugin also integrates with Obsidian’s Canvas, ensuring RTL support for notes within it. Additionally, it supports front matter-based direction settings, allowing even greater customization for multilingual note-taking.

The Buckwalter Transliteration plugin allows you to display Arabic text that has been converted into Buckwalter-encoded strings, offering a more readable view of transliterated content in your notes. It offers a specialized syntax for marking up segments of text using this encoding, ensuring that any associated Arabic content can be highlighted and more easily recognized. By bridging the gap between the transliteration scheme and the final rendered text, this plugin provides a practical solution for those who frequently work with Arabic materials or are learning the script. It also supports link references, letting you incorporate Buckwalter-encoded strings into your note structure without disrupting normal Obsidian workflows. This approach helps maintain clarity and consistency when integrating Arabic transliteration into your documents.
