description	Query the Markdown capability of a Flex filesystem cell: headings, frontmatter, tags, Dataview fields, and optional Obsidian wikilinks and aliases.

flex:markdown

Markdown is a file capability inside a filesystem cell, not a separate compiler. Start with flex core search --cell <name> "@orient", then scope ordinary filesystem retrieval with WHERE file_kind='markdown'.

• Heading chunks expose section_title, depth, container_id, and position.
• Note metadata lives in _types_markdown_source.
• Dataview-style fields live in _fields_inline.
• When obsidian=true, tags, aliases, resolved links, and unresolved targets live in _fields_inline, _edges_wikilink, and _edges_wikilink_unresolved.
• Semantic retrieval is available only when the live cell reports embed=true.

Read a note in order:

SELECT section_title, depth, content FROM chunks
WHERE source_id=:path AND file_kind='markdown' ORDER BY position;

Find backlinks:

SELECT from_path FROM _edges_wikilink WHERE to_path=:path ORDER BY from_path;

The presence of a .obsidian/ directory does not prove vault semantics were enabled. Use the live metadata reported by @orient.
