Obsidian markdown

Obsidian = CommonMark + GFM + extensions below. Standard markdown assumed; this covers only the Obsidian-specific parts. Adapted from kepano/obsidian-skills (MIT).

Wikilinks

[[Note Name]]                 link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]]    custom text
[[Note Name#Heading]]         link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]]       link to block
[[#Heading]]                  same-note heading

In-vault -> wikilink (Obsidian tracks renames). External URL -> [text](url). Never markdown-link vault notes.

Block ID: append ^block-id to a paragraph. Lists/quotes -> ID on its own line after the block.

Embeds

! prefix on any wikilink embeds it inline:

![[Note Name]]            full note
![[Note Name#Heading]]    section
![[image.png|300]]        image, width 300
![[document.pdf#page=3]]  PDF page

More (audio, bases, search embeds, external images) -> references/EMBEDS.md.

Callouts

> [!note]
> Basic.

> [!warning] Custom Title
> Body.

> [!faq]- Collapsed by default (+ = expanded)

Types: note tip info warning example quote bug danger success failure question abstract todo. Full table + aliases + nesting -> references/CALLOUTS.md.

Properties (frontmatter)

YAML at top of file. Defaults Obsidian understands: tags, aliases, cssclasses. Lists as YAML lists; links as related: "[[Other Note]]" (quoted). Types + tag charset rules -> references/PROPERTIES.md.

Misc

==highlight==
%%hidden comment%%
$inline\ math$  /  $$block$$
Text with footnote[^1].  /  inline.^[Inline footnote.]

Mermaid: fenced ```mermaid block; class NodeName internal-link; makes nodes link to notes.
