Content Escaping

Body Content Escaping

Security level for handling content from GitHub. This affects issue/PR body text and comments.

Mode	Description	Use Case
Disabled	No escaping	Trust all content (security risk)
Normal	Basic escaping	Templater/Dataview compatibility
Strict	Remove dangerous characters	General use (recommended)
Very Strict	Minimal allowed characters	Maximum security

Escape Hash Tags

Escape # characters to prevent unintended Obsidian tags.

Example: #1337-YesSr becomes \#1337-YesSr

When to enable:

• Issue/PR titles or bodies contain hashtags that aren't meant as Obsidian tags
• You see unexpected tags in your notes

Default: Disabled
