Obsidian Cheat Sheet

Internal linking

Link to a page:

[[Internal link]]

Embed files

Embed attachments

You can embed attachment files like images, videos, audio, pdf, and even md files in your notes with this syntax:

![[filename.png]]

![[My File.pdf#page=number]]

iframe

“iframe” is a way to embed a web page in another. It’s useful because Markdown can accept HTML, which is a simple language to construct the web pages we see every day.

youtube

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NnTvZWp5Q7o"></iframe>

twitter

<iframe
	border=0
	frameborder=0
	height=250
	width=550  
	src="https://twitframe.com/show?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fjack%2Fstatus%2F20">
</iframe>

Resize images

You can resize images using the following syntax:

For markdown images, use:

![AltText|100x100](https://url/to/image.png)

For embeds, use:

![[image.png|100x100]]

To have the image scale according to its aspect ratio, omit the height:

![[image.png|100]]

Blockquotes

> Human beings face ever more complex and urgent problems, and their effectiveness in dealing with these problems is a matter that is critical to the stability and continued progress of society.

\- Doug Engelbart, 1961

Highlighting

Use two equal signs:

==highlight text==

Footnotes

Here's a simple footnote,[^1] and here's a longer one.[^bignote]

[^1]: meaningful!

[^bignote]: Here's one with multiple paragraphs and code.

    Indent paragraphs to include them in the footnote.

    `{ my code }`

    Add as many paragraphs as you like.

Callouts

Use the following syntax to denote a callout block:

> [!INFO]
> Here's a callout block.
> It supports **markdown** and [[Internal link|wikilinks]].
