Hide markdown formatting (hashes and links, and asterisks) on all unfocused lines (e.g. lines not typing on)

obsidian-hide-md-formatting.md

1. Go to Settings > Appearance
2. Enable "CSS Snippets" > Obsidian
3. Go to terminal
4. Create a CSS snippet file for Obsidian Note: the folders ".obsidian" and "snippets" should already exist, if they don't create them with "mkdir" command.

cd secondmind 
cd .obsidian
cd snippets
touch obsidian.css
#opens file in VSC
code obsidian.css 

Copy and past the following CSS to the obsidian.css file. Changes should be instant (if CSS Snippets enabled [as above]).
