SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing notes for Obsidian requires syntax beyond standard Markdown—wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and comments—and using the wrong syntax produces broken links, failed Dataview queries, or notes that render incorrectly in reading view. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wikilinks and Embeds: Create internal note links with heading and block references, and embed notes, images, PDFs, audio, and search results using ![[...]] syntax. - Callouts and Properties: Add foldable, nested callouts of 13 supported types and define YAML frontmatter properties like tags, aliases, and cssclasses. - Syntax Trap Prevention: Avoid common pitfalls such as unescaped dollar signs triggering math parsing, bare = characters breaking Dataview inline queries, and unclosed highlight markers. - Use Case: When drafting a project note in an Obsidian vault, generate valid frontmatter with tags and aliases, link related notes with [[wikilinks]], embed a reference PDF page, and add a warning callout—all with syntax that renders correctly. ## Quick Start Create an Obsidian note about my project plan with frontmatter tags, a wikilink to my goals note, and a warning callout.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-markdown

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create wikilinks in Obsidian Markdown?

Wikilinks use double brackets like [[Note Name]] to link notes within a vault. Add a pipe for custom display text ([[Note|Text]]), a hash for headings ([[Note#Heading]]), or a caret for block references ([[Note#^block-id]]).

How do I embed images and PDFs in Obsidian notes?

Prefix any wikilink with an exclamation mark to embed content, such as ![[image.png]] or ![[document.pdf#page=3]]. Images support sizing with a pipe parameter like ![[image.png|300]] for width.

What callout types does Obsidian support?

Obsidian supports 13 callout types including note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, and todo. Callouts use the > [!type] syntax and support folding with + or - and custom titles.

Why does my Obsidian note show a Dataview parsing error?

A bare equals sign in prose is parsed by Dataview as an inline query and fails with a parsing error. Wrap literal equals signs in backticks or inline code, or place them inside LaTeX math blocks.

How do I write dollar amounts in Obsidian without triggering math?

Escape literal dollar signs with a backslash (\$1,000) or write them as text like 1,000 USD. Inside LaTeX math blocks, use \text{\$1,000} to render currency correctly.

When should I use wikilinks versus Markdown links in Obsidian?

Use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault because Obsidian tracks renames automatically and updates links. Use standard [text](url) Markdown links only for external URLs.
