My settings for Readwise Exports to Obsidian

Requirements and assumptions:

• Use of the readwiseio/obsidian-readwise: Official Readwise plugin for Obsidian to get Readwise highlights into Obsidian.
• Configure these options here: Obsidian Export | Readwise
• Use of Dataview fields in the exported reference notes

Page title

Add a “type” icon to the {{title}} attribute

# {{ "📚 " if category == "books"}}{{"📰 " if category == "articles"}}{{"🐦 " if category == "tweets"}}{{"🎙 " if category == "podcasts"}}{{ title }}

Page metadata

• Include cover image if exists
• Include Author as Dataview Author:: field
• Use the type icon for a Dataview Category:: field
• Defults the initial tag to #NoteType/Reference/captures/{{category}}
• Include any Readwise Document tags
• Include any Readwise URL’s to Dataview URL:: field
• Include Sync Date as Synced::
• Reference notes in Obsidian will include Dataview code for Literature Notes, Permanent Notes, and “see also.”
