Embedding/Transclusion

Λόγω της δυνατότητας ενσωμάτωσης που παρέχει το Obsidian μπορούμε για παράδειγμα να ενσωματώσουμε το οικογενειακό ιστορικό του ασθενούς σε αυτό ακριβώς το σημείο:

Thanks to the embedding feature in Obsidian, we can, for example, embed the patient’s family history right at this point in the document.

This allows you to reuse and display content from another note without duplicating it, keeping records consistent and easier to maintain.

Folding Sections

Obsidian also supports text folding and unfolding (folding). We have placed two buttons for this functionality above the banner image (see Fig. 1):

Fold all headings and lists – collapses all headings and lists.
Unfold all headings and lists – expands all headings and lists.
This feature helps keep long medical notes or patient histories organized and makes navigation much easier. This allows clinicians to quickly navigate long medical histories while focusing on the relevant sections.

Fig. 1: The patient’s medical history is shown in a **collapsed format**, using the folding buttons located above the banner image. In this view, only the **Family History** section has been expanded.

Front-Matter Data

The information entered in the medical history form fields is automatically captured in the front-matter fields (Fig. 2). You can access these fields from the right-hand panel of the application by clicking the 🛈 icon. This allows for structured metadata management and easy reference across the patient’s record. These fields can be used also for filtering, querying,
