Saving space in editor (hiding/minimizing codeblocks)

[MattDemers]

Hey all; pretty new to Obsidian, JS and Dataview.

I'm using Dataview as part of a template for my Daily Notes. However, I primarily view these notes in Markdown, and that code takes up a lot of space at the top of the document.

Is there a way to minimize the space this codeblock takes up?

My thoughts were:

• Hiding it somehow, or collapsing it
• Using a smaller alias for a template stored elsewhere

Not sure if either of these are feasible, but my searching has failed me.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Do you want the query to take up less space in the source view? If so, you can add a heading above it and collapse the heading, but you would need to do that manually every time.

If you want to have the results take up less space in live preview mode, you can embed the query in a callout box and have the callout box be collapsed by default, as per #1732 (comment)
