The open-as-md plugin allows users to edit non-markdown files within Obsidian as if they were Markdown files. By specifying file extensions in the plugin settings, users can seamlessly open and modify various file types directly in the Obsidian editor. This functionality helps integrate diverse content formats into a unified workspace without the need for external applications. The plugin provides a straightforward way to manage different file types while maintaining a consistent workflow.

The Data Files Editor plugin enables users to create and edit `.txt`, `.json`, and `.xml` files directly within Obsidian. It provides a seamless way to manage non-markdown data files, allowing customization through settings that enable or disable editing and creation for each supported file type. Users can create new data files through the file tree’s context menu, ensuring flexible file placement. While the plugin currently supports plain text and JSON with syntax highlighting, future updates aim to enhance XML editing capabilities. This tool enhances Obsidian’s functionality for users who work with structured and unstructured data files alongside their notes.
