Altered the snippet to work within callouts so that other lists in a note are unaffected
First, thank you so much for this plugin and snippet!
I used the snippet with great success in some notes. However, I was running into issues where I wanted to have both a timeline and a list in the same note. So I modified the snippet CSS so that it only works inside a callout called "timeline". e.g.
>[!timeline]
>- Date
>- First thing that happened
>- Something grand and [[wonderful]] happened first on this date. Happy.
>
>- Date 2
>- Another thing occured
>- A less good thing occured on this date.[^1] Sad.
In the CSS I also altered the cssclass names so that they're more human readable (I have Memory Impairment and there was no way I would remember what line-4 or body-2, etc. would mean). They are as follows: line-2 -> timeline-line-2 line-3 -> timeline-line-3 line-4 -> timeline-line-4 etc.
body-2 -> timeline-box-2 body-3 -> timeline-box-3 etc.
There's an added cssclass that can be added to the YAML to hide the callout title so it can fit in better with the rest of the note: timeline-hide-title
There's some other minor changes as noted in the CSS comments.
Full altered CSS snippet as follows:
CSS Code
.callout[data-callout="timeline"] { /* Remove background of callout, change the icon to a clock and give it the same colour as an H2 title */
background: none;
--callout-icon: clock;
--callout-color: var(--h2-color);
}
.timeline-hide-title .callout[data-callout="timeline"] .callout-title { /* Add "timeline-hide-title" to YAML cssclass to optionally hide the timeline callout title */
display: none;
}
