    Add Tags : Directly include #tag1, #tag2 at the top.
    .         Or use Add File Properties => Add Tags using Frontline matter

Basic Markdown

Single star or underscore is for italic: italic star text italic underscore text. (gfm also same)
Double star or underscore is for bold: bold text double star; bold text underscore (gfm also same)

Different Kinds of Code Blocks

Indented Code Block:

    This is 8 spaces indented. (8-4)=4 spaces preserved in output
	Links and **bold** and _italic_ texts are not interpreted.

Fenced Code Block:

```
	I can use triple ``` or ~~~ for fenced code blocks.
    All intial spaces preserved. **bold** text not interpreted.
	Syntax highlighting for python and such is supported only
	in fenced code block.
```

Block Quote:

 Block quote starts with >
The **bold** text is interpreted.
Some links like  [mylink](https://zatvia.com) are also rendered.

Sub-Blocks are supported with  >>

Indent + Format:

There is no easy way to just indent and keep formatting intact. The only closest option is Block Quotes with > sign

Linking and more

wikilinks style:

For linking one note to another, you can use wikilink type syntax. Not supported in github. This feature of linking internal notes itself is obsidian specific.

[[Another Note Title]]
[[Another Note Title|Your title]]
/* No need to specify relative path if filename is unique */
[[my-unique-README-in-vault]]   
[[chats/README|README]].  /* chats is a subfolder */

For inter-vault linking, use obsidian:/url along with advanced-uri plugin:

[README-vaultB](obsidian:///abs/path/to/README.md) 
/* Use advanced-uri plugin to use below */
[README-vaultB](obsidian://open?vault=name&file=README)

Caution

Inter-Vault Linking requires advanced-uri plugin unless using abs path.

Regular Link Style :

Following format is supported in github as well:

[Another Note ](path/to/another-note.md)
[Another Section in same doc ](#my_unique_id)
[Another Note Title](etc/other-note#my_unique_id)

Github auto creates id element for every heading. However, you will have to do the following if you need anchor at any specific places:

Insert this into the note anywher: <a id="my_unique_id"> </a>

See this in action:

Another Note Title Another Note Title AI-Big-Picture ML Summary Notes

Backlinks:

Backlinks are auto generated and displayed in the sidebar (configurable) and the context is included.
Unlinked mentions are also listed. (How?)
Follow a link by clicking in Preview mode
Command-clicking in Edit mode
Go back with Command + Option + left arrow.

Backlinks

Aliases: aliases can be created for each note so that you can link to them using different names.

You can define aliases in the YAML frontmatter at the top of a note.

---
aliases:
  - ML Summary
  - ML Abstract
  - ml-summary
---

Sidebar:

The left sidebar displays backlinks and unlinked references.
Unlinked references are links for which the target note does not exist.
Sidebar used by plugins to display an outline, tags pane and more.

Graph view:

This is a graphical representation of the relationships between your notes.

Graph

Blocks:

Each page is made up of blocks which may be paragraphs, lists and more.
Each block has an empty line before and after it.
You can create links to specific blocks or headings using the syntax [[filename^block]].
You can sprinkle the markers like ^my-mark1 and ^my-mark2 with in markdown source and refer else where. It is obsidian specific feature.
Better alternative is to use <a id="my-mark1"> and use my-title#my-mark1
Duplicate block ids must cause unpredictable behaviour:

File: Notes1.md Some important text here.

Notes1^important Notes2^important # Okay if block-id is atleast unique within same doc. ^important # May cause issues if it is not unique in same vault.

Code blocks: code blocks are available and syntax highlighting is supported. Prism is used, and 255 languages are supported.

Tags:

Tags like #obsidian and nested tags like tag/sub-tag supported
Multi word tags aren’t supported.
Tag pane appears in sidebar and triggered using hotkey (e.g. F6)

Embeds: notes and other files can be embedded using ![[filename]]. Voice memos can be embedded with the audio recorder plugin.

Embeds

Search:

search results displayed in navigation bar and highlights them in the selected note.
Case sensitivity can be turned on and off
Operators are available for path, file, tag, line, and section.

Split window:

can split the window multiple times like in an IDE.
Panes can be linked so they scroll together.
One use of this is to display the Edit and Preview views.
You open a link in a new pane.
