Custom CSS Magic - Eliminating Transclusion Titles for a Cleaner Look

To remove the title of a transclusion in Obsidian without showing the header title, you can use a CSS snippet. This method involves creating or modifying a CSS snippet in Obsidian to hide the transclusion titles. Based on the information provided in the search results, here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this using a CSS snippet:

Step 1: Create a CSS Snippet

1. Open Obsidian.
2. Go to Settings > Appearance > CSS Snippets.
3. Click on Open snippets folder.
4. Create a new .css file in the snippets folder. You can name it something descriptive, like hide-transclusion-titles.css.

Step 2: Add CSS Code to Hide Titles

Edit the newly created .css file in a text editor and add the following CSS code to it:

.internal-embed[alt*="no-h"] .markdown-embed-content h1,
.internal-embed[alt*="no-h"] .markdown-embed-content h2,
.internal-embed[alt*="no-h"] .markdown-embed-content h3,
.internal-embed[alt*="no-h"] .markdown-embed-content h4,
.internal-embed[alt*="no-h"] .markdown-embed-content h5,
.internal-embed[alt*="no-h"] .markdown-embed-content h6 {
  display: none;
}

This CSS snippet targets transclusions with an alt attribute containing “no-h” and hides all headings (from h1 to h6) within the transcluded content[1].

Step 3: Activate the CSS Snippet

1. Return to Obsidian’s Settings > Appearance > CSS Snippets.
2. You should see your newly created snippet listed there. Click the refresh icon if it’s not showing up.
3. Toggle the switch next to your snippet to activate it.

Step 4: Use the Snippet in Your Notes

To use this snippet and hide the titles of specific transclusions, you’ll need to modify your transclusion links by adding an alt text that includes “no-h”:

![[YourNote#yoursection|no-h]]

This method allows you to selectively hide the titles of transclusions by including “no-h” in the alternative text of the transclusion link. It’s a flexible approach that doesn’t require manual editing of each note to remove titles but instead uses CSS to control the display behavior[1].

Remember, this solution applies globally to all transclusions where you include “no-h” in the alt text, making it a versatile and reversible method for managing transclusion titles in Obsidian.
