📁 Installation

Step 1 — Locate your Excalidraw folder

In your Obsidian vault, find the Excalidraw folder. By default it is at:

YourVault/
└── Excalidraw/

---

Step 2 — Create the Scripts folder

Inside the Excalidraw folder, create a subfolder named exactly.

Your vault structure should now look like this:

YourVault/
└── Excalidraw/
    └── Scripts/

---

Step 3 — Add the script files

Copy both files from this repo into the Scripts folder:

YourVault/
└── Excalidraw/
    └── Scripts/
        ├── CTF Flag Highlighter.md   ✅  (the script)
        └── CTF Flag Highlighter.svg  ✅  (the toolbar icon)

• The .md file contains the actual JavaScript — do not rename it to .js.
• The .svg file is the thumbnail icon shown in the Excalidraw script toolbar. It must share the exact same name as the .md file.

▶️ How to Access & Run the Script

Method 1 — Script Library Button (Recommended)

1. Open any Excalidraw drawing in Obsidian.
2. In the Excalidraw right-side toolbar, click the Obsidian Tools Panel (it has the Obsidian logo as icon).
3. A panel listing all your scripts will appear.
4. Click CTF Flag Highlighter to run it on your selection (you can find it using the flag thumbnail icon).

Method 2 — Obsidian Command Palette

1. Select your text element(s) on the canvas.
2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P).

Note: Scripts only appear in the palette/toolbar after Obsidian reloads or detects the new file. If the script doesn't show up, reload Obsidian once (Ctrl+R / Cmd+R).
