  paste-interception spec with new requirement

Raw Blame History

Change: Skip reformatting when pasting into a code block

Why

When a user pastes content into a fenced code block (```), the plugin reformats the pasted text (HTML-to-Markdown conversion, heading cascade, regex replacements, etc.). This destroys the raw content the user intended to paste as code. The plugin should detect code block context and let Obsidian's default paste proceed. (GitHub issue #14)

What Changes

  • Add a code block detection function that scans backward from the cursor to determine if the cursor is inside a fenced code block
  • Add an early-return guard in onPaste() that skips reformatting when the cursor is inside a code block

Impact

  • Affected specs: paste-interception
  • Affected code: src/main.ts (onPaste method, new helper function)
