Mark Highlight Shortcuts using the Text Format Plugin

This guide was originally provided by @ShahriarKh.

🤔 How do I set this up?

1. Install and enable the Obsidian Text Format plugin via Obsidian's Community Plugins store.
2. Use one of the following .json files for the list of mark style options:

• Basic (Recommended / Uses the options set in Style Settings)
• All Available Options (Ability to select different visual and text styles for each colour)

3. Open .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-text-format/data.json and add the styles:

{
  ...other options
  "WrapperList": [
    {
      "name": "Mark: Accent - Default - Default Text",
      "prefix": "<mark class=\" mark-default mark-text-default\">",
      "suffix": "</mark>"
    },
    {
      "name": "Mark: Accent - Border and Filled - Colored Text",
      "prefix": "<mark class=\" mark-borderandfilled mark-text-color\">",
      "suffix": "</mark>"
    },
    {
      "name": "Mark: Red - Default - Colored Text",
      "prefix": "<mark class=\"red mark-default mark-text-color\">",
      "suffix": "</mark>"
    },
    ...
]
}

Note: If the data.json file isn't there, go to Obsidian -> Settings -> Text Format tab under Community plugins in the sidebar -> Toggle one of the options On/Off which should cause the plugin to generate the data.json file.

4. 🛩 Restart Obsidian and Enjoy! You should now be able to find each option using the Command Palette.
