# Tagescape

An Obsidian plugin that suppresses inline tag recognition in body text. Only tags defined in frontmatter properties are kept.

## What it does

By default, Obsidian treats any `#word` in your note body as a tag. This plugin disables that behavior:

- **Inline tags** (`#example` in body text) are treated as plain text — no tag styling, no click behavior, and they are excluded from the tag pane and tag search.
- **Frontmatter tags** (defined in YAML properties) continue to work normally.

## Why

If you use tags exclusively in frontmatter properties for organization, inline `#` symbols (e.g. in headings references, issue numbers, or casual notes) can pollute your tag list. Tagescape keeps your tag namespace clean.
