- Obsidian uses standard Markdown plus extensions like wikilinks and callouts.
- Internal links with [[double brackets]] are foundational for connected notes.
- Callouts enhance blockquotes into visual highlights (tips, warnings, notes).
- Notes or sections can be embedded within other notes.
- Tables, code blocks, and task lists are supported with specific syntax.
- Text formatting includes bold, italic, strikethrough, and highlight.
- Headings create structure and can be linked to directly.
- Lists (ordered and unordered) are auto-continued and nestable.
- Wikilinks (Obsidian default) offer better integration than standard Markdown links.
- Callouts come in various types (note, tip, warning) and can be foldable.
- Code blocks support syntax highlighting for multiple languages.
- Tables can be aligned and are easier to manage with plugins.
- Task lists allow checkboxes for tracking completion.
- Footnotes and comments (hidden text) are supported for references and notes.
- Tags and nested tags help in organizing and searching notes.
- YAML frontmatter stores metadata like title, date, and tags.
- LaTeX math notation is supported for inline and block equations.
- Mermaid diagrams can be created for flowcharts, sequence diagrams, etc.
- Obsidian differs from standard Markdown with additional features and some unsupported elements.
- Desktop Commander can help manage Obsidian vaults through natural language commands.
