Using Minimal Theme Settings you can define the following preferences which are useful in combination with Block width:

  • Normal line width: the width of a normal line of text (default 40em)
  • Wide line width: the width for "wide" elements (default 50em)
  • Maximum line width: the maximum percentage of width that content can fill inside of a pane (default 88%)

To use these features, you will need to turn on "Readable line length" in Obsidian's Editor settings.

Developers

You can visualize line width settings using the command Dev — Show block widths in Minimal Theme Settings.
