Obsidian markdown notes with wikilinks and frontmatter are created by applying Obsidian-flavored syntax to vault documents, generating internal links like [[Note]] and managing YAML properties such as tags and aliases for consistent rendering.

Embedding notes in Obsidian markdown uses the exclamation mark prefix before a wikilink, such as ![[Note]], to inline content from other vault documents directly into your current note.

Callouts in Obsidian markdown notes are added using the blockquote syntax with a specific type indicator, such as > [!note], to create styled content blocks that highlight important information within your vault documents.

Standard markdown can be used alongside Obsidian-specific syntax in your vault. The system supports Obsidian-flavored extensions like wikilinks and embeds while maintaining standard markdown formatting for consistent rendering.

Managing YAML frontmatter properties in Obsidian notes is best done by structuring metadata fields like title, tags, aliases, and cssclasses at the top of your markdown documents to ensure proper organization and discovery within the vault.

Wikilinks are used over standard markdown links for building a knowledge base because they simplify creating and resolving internal connections like [[Note|Display Text]], streamlining interlinked vault structures and reducing manual formatting errors.
