# Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill
Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax.
## Internal Links (Wikilinks)
```markdown
[[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
```
Use `[[wikilinks]]` for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and `[text](url)` for external URLs only.
## Embeds
```markdown
![[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
![[MyBase.base]] Embed a Bases view
![[MyBase.base#View Name]] Embed a specific view
```
## Callouts
```markdown
> [!note]
> Basic callout.
> [!warning] Custom Title
> Callout with a custom title.
> [!faq]- Collapsed by default
> Foldable callout (- collapsed, + expanded).
```
Common types: `note`, `tip`, `warning`, `info`, `example`, `quote`, `bug`, `danger`, `success`, `failure`, `question`, `abstract`, `todo`.
## Properties (Frontmatter)
```yaml
---
title: My Note
date: 2024-01-15
tags:
- project
- active
aliases:
- Alternative Name
---
```
Default properties: `tags` (searchable labels), `aliases` (alternative note names for link suggestions).
## Tags
```markdown
#tag Inline tag
#nested/tag Nested tag with hierarchy
```
Tags can contain letters, numbers (not first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes.
## Comments
```markdown
This is visible %%but this is hidden%% text.
%%
This entire block is hidden in reading view.
%%
```
## Obsidian-Specific Formatting
```markdown
==Highlighted text==
```
