Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.
Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.
[[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.![[embed]] syntax. See for all embed types.> [!type] syntax. See CALLOUTS.md for all callout types.When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use
[[wikilinks]]for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and[text](url)for external URLs only.
[[Note Name]] Link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]] Custom display text
[[Note Name#Heading]] Link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]] Link to block
[[#Heading in same note]] Same-note heading link
Define a block ID by appending ^block-id to any paragraph:
This paragraph can be linked to. ^my-block-id
For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:
> A quote block
^quote-id
Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline:
![[Note Name]] Embed full note
![[Note Name#Heading]] Embed section
![[image.png]] Embed image
![[image.png|300]] Embed image with width
![[document.pdf#page=3]] Embed PDF page
See EMBEDS.md for audio, video, search embeds, and external images.
