Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)

Shiny new things Introducing a brand new editor for Markdown tables. Table rows and columns are now easier to create, edit, sort, reorder, select, copy, and pas...

@obsidian

I'm a pretty big fan of obsidian. I use it for most of my note taking for new projects.

My favorite feature is the wiki links [[ EX; name of concept here creates link ]] which makes it extremely easy to create new pages and rename concepts.

Two complaints:
You can't use Colon ( ':' ) in wiki links and other symbols that are commonly used in titles

There is no code for changing the color of text or highlight color other than using HTML which is not impossible, but is time consuming. (Though there are plugins that make it possible.)

@BlueBee @obsidian I share both the praise for Obsidian and your two complains/requests. Especially being able to use colours would be very nice, although I can see how that would be in tension with keeping the files in standard Markdown format and maximally portable.

@chrisoffner3d @BlueBee @obsidian, I'm sorry, but I really hope your complaint on colors never gets solved. I want my notes to persist. To open the door for custom code would just make them harder to read without Obsidian. There's already tools which can give you that.

Please, don't take it personally. I don't intend to offend any of you.

@sobral @chrisoffner3d @obsidian

Ugh I'm so offended 😂

Nah, I understand your take. In my case, I think the lack of text color and highlight in markdown is a huge mistake that should be fixed across all versions of markdown. The lack of it really hamstrings ones ability to differentiate types of text.

I get your point, but it seems like a core weakness of markdown at the moment as well.

@BlueBee @chrisoffner3d @obsidian , I agree on the highlight! Something to be parsed as `<mark>` would be useful.
