Snippet: Hover Callouts By Harry

Hover callouts functions so that Obsidian. Md callouts that are not set to be open or closed with a toggle will be collapsed until hovered over at which point they will expand.

• Important
  • If the content of your callout is more than 41 lines (With default text size) or otherwise exceeds 1000px in height you must adjust the snippet in order for your content to not be cut off.
  • This snippet has not yet been tested on non default callout themes.
  • This does not apply to nested callouts at the moment.
