Highlight single list items as coloured callouts by starting them with a character such as & ! ? or @. Compatible with List Callouts notes.

What it does

Highlight a single list item as a coloured callout by starting it with a character and a space:

It works in Live Preview, in Source mode and in Reading view, on desktop and on mobile, in bullet, numbered and task lists.

Long notes keep their colours. List Callouts stops drawing callouts when Obsidian has not finished reading a long note (#75, #80). This plugin reads the lines on screen itself, so it never gives up.
Wrapped lines are coloured with the item they belong to (#48, #18), and in Reading view a callout item's sub-list sits inside its colour.
Commands to add, change and remove a callout (#47, #57, #71), each with an icon for the mobile toolbar.
Names for callouts, shown in the picker, so you remember what ~ was for.
