HelpMate supports Obsidian's [code blocks feature](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Basic+formatting+syntax#Code+blocks). This allows us to use HelpMate in our documents. This gives us great flexibility in how we view help in Obsidian because we can reposition documents into various parts of the user interface, docking the document pane to the left, right, below, or above or even using it with the hover editor plugin to make it a flowing window. # Making a HelpMate code block The following code block is an example of using HelpMate: ![[helpmate codeblock.png|400]] Let us break this down: * A code block will need to start with three backslashes followed by the word helpmate in all lowercase. - The next line should start with `url:` followed by the website address. Notice that the url is lowercase. Additionally, the website is not surrounded by quotes. - The next two lines are optional: - height is the height in pixels for the code block. - toolbar can be true or false. If set to true, it will show the navigation toolbar. # Making a code block easily When viewing a website in the HelpMate sidepane, you can have HelpMate make a code block for you for that site by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner and then selecting the code block command. This generates a new document with a random name and the code block markdown for that site.
