Obsidian Flavoured Markdown
Use standard Markdown normally. Apply the extensions below only when the note needs them; do not add frontmatter, links, embeds or callouts by default.
Wikilinks
Use wikilinks for vault content and Markdown links for external URLs.
[[Note Name]]
[[Note Name|Display Text]]
[[Note Name#Heading]]
[[Note Name#^block-id]]
[[#Heading in same note]]
Append ^block-id to a paragraph. Put it on its own line after a list or
blockquote. Obsidian resolves links by filename; aliases affect suggestions, not
resolution.
Embeds
Prefix a wikilink with !:
![[Note Name]]
![[Note Name#Heading]]
![[image.png|300]]
![[document.pdf#page=3]]
Load references/EMBEDS.md only for other media, search embeds or sizing
details.
Callouts
> [!note]
> Content.
> [!warning] Custom title
> Content.
> [!faq]- Collapsed
> Content.
Load references/CALLOUTS.md only for aliases, nesting or custom callouts.
