Obsidian Obsidian Notes is an interesting productivity application. It is a Markdown-based system that incorporates tags, plugins and backlinks to create a compelling to use system. That said, it can be hard to know how to get started in Obsidian Notes.
You can write content using GitHub-flavored Markdown syntax.
- Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of. A local folder of plain text Markdown files. Get Obsidian for Windows. Beta version 0.11.0. Also available for macOS, Linux (AppImage), Linux (Snap), and Linux (Flatpak). Mobile apps coming soon.
- Accepted file formats. Obsidian recognizes the following file formats right now: Markdown files: md; Image files: png, jpg, jpeg; Audio files: mp3, webm, wav, m4a.
- Some awesome suggestions here. And gold information pointing out that markdown supports HTMl completely! A good clean solution is always to go with pure html syntax for sure. But I was trying to still stick to the markdown syntax so I tried wrapping it around a tag and added whatever attributes i wanted for the image inside the.
#Markdown Syntax
To serve as an example page when styling markdown based Docusaurus sites.
#Headers
#H2 - Create the best documentation
#H3 - Create the best documentation
#H4 - Create the best documentation
#H5 - Create the best documentation
#H6 - Create the best documentation
#Emphasis
Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.
Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.
Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.
Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.
#Lists
- First ordered list item
- Another item ⋅⋅* Unordered sub-list.
- Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number ⋅⋅1. Ordered sub-list
- And another item.
⋅⋅⋅You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we'll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).
⋅⋅⋅To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces.⋅⋅ ⋅⋅⋅Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph.⋅⋅ ⋅⋅⋅(This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)

- Unordered list can use asterisks
- Or minuses
- Or pluses
#Links
Or leave it empty and use the link text itself.
URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com and sometimes example.com (but not on Github, for example).
Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.

#Tables
Colons can be used to align columns.
| Tables | Are | Cool |
|---|---|---|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.
| Markdown | Less | Pretty |
|---|---|---|
| Still | renders | nicely |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
#Blockquotes
Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text. This line is part of the same quote.

Quote break.
This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can putMarkdown into a blockquote.
#Inline HTML
Obsidian Markdown Checkbox
- Definition list
- Is something people use sometimes.
- Markdown in HTML
- Does *not* work **very** well. Use HTML tags.

#Line Breaks
Here's a line for us to start with.
This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a separate paragraph.
This line is also a separate paragraph, but... This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the same paragraph.
