Quick note: in newer Obsidian versions, to create a checklist (at least on Windows), you'll need to press **CTRL+L** instead of **CTRL+Enter key**
This behavior can be changed to whatever combo you'd like to use if you go to "Settings > Hotkeys > Toggle checkbox status"
That's right! Pinned this so that others see it as well!
Wow thanks! I've been manually doing: dash-space-bracket-space-bracket-space
Thanks for this!
Thanks! I was already confused why its not working 😄
Thanks for this. It's command key & L on Mac
Thank God for people like you who are articulate, generous and have clear minds.
So nice of you, thank you so much :)
Love your directness. Your explanations are concise and seem very authentic. Other RUclipsrs tend to labour their presentation style but I appreciate how you just get on with the job. Great work my friend, thank you 👍
Love this. I have always been nearly criticized for my directness in general but I 100% agree with you, I consume a ton of youtube content and sometimes it's painful to sit through a 10 minute video that could have been under 1 minute. I appreciate it a lot, have a great week!
@@FromSergio , right on point! Maybe some cosmectic stuff brings attention at first sight, but it's the quality of the content that'll make videos endure as well make people subscribe to the channel! Thanks a lot, and congrats for the excelent video!
FYI, you can put non-inline footnotes wherever. You don't need to put them at the bottom of the page. Either way, they will show up at the bottom in reading mode. And you can give each footnote a meaningful name instead of calling them 1, 2, 3, etc. The numbering shown in reading mode is automatic anyway, so the numbers you specify are meaningless. You can call it footnote 72, but if it's the first one on the page, it'll be called 1 in reading mode.
You can also create your own block ids to link to. It does need to be the auto generated numbers. Syntax: ^your-id
2:55 Check-Lists are created by Ctrl+L von Windows
i love you
Thanks a lot
Thanks
This was hands down the most helpful video on internal linking in Obsidian I saw until this date. THANK YOU! :-)
Thanks Andre that really means a lot! Have a great one!
As a soon to be computer science student I need a good note taking app to put all my ideas somewhere and I think I am going to try Obsidian 🥰🥰🥰 There is a lot to learn for sure!
sorry flip but you are not cut for obsidian. Ditch it all . Please use instead MS word or notepad
Very cool, thanks. I subscribed to your channel precisely because of the topic of studying Obsidian. And I like your presentation of information, you speak very clearly and without unnecessary fluff, very clear and specific things with clear examples and precise explanations.
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
Very useful video, Sergio! Thanks!
Thank you so much for creating this! Great way to learn a ton about syntax very quickly.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Really needed a quick guide like this; awesome. Followed line-by-line so I have a markdown syntax doc now, to refer to. Thanks so much!
That's great, glad you enjoyed it, I do the same, I also have a markdown syntax page in my vault that I refer to from time to time, it's really helpful!
Your content and delivery are awesome
Really useful! Thanks for making this concise and to-the-point tutorial :)
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Very concise and useful. Love markdown)
Thank you sir! I'm new to Obsidian, and this really helped alot with markdown syntax. What's interesting is that you can actually embed links, which is a pretty useful feature overall
I'm glad :) I also make extensive use of that feature especially if the embedded content is short!
WOW. I really loved your video you explained everything I need so far in a short time.
Keep the good work
Thanks Youssef! :)
Thank you. This is very clear and helpful.
You're awesome Sergio. Thanks for creating this useful tutorial 👍🏽
this got to be the best channel to learn. so concise and easy to follow
That's awesome to read! Thanks a lot :)
Just wanted to say thank you Sergio. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Sensei! You are a blessing!
This was a very helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. This has really helped me to get a better grasp of what Markdown can do and how to do it, without turning into an information overload.
I'm glad I was able to help! :)
Very much looking forward to tables & dataview!
I'm particularly fond of Dataview! Definitely not an "essential" plugin for the majority of people but for those that take advantage of it, it takes obsidian to the next level! Hopefully I have that one ready in a couple of weeks!
Sergio, love the videos. Extremely helpful!
Thanks Charles :)
I write exclusively in source mode, so I LOVE that they show you the formatting even in source.
I really hate markdown, but I have to use it everywhere and pretty much always have since it took over html as the webs main customization language.
Being able to write in source but have it show me everything with the syntax is a lifesaver, and a feature I'll never do without now.
Thank you! Very useful!
This is great, thank you!
Thanks. I m looking for this.
Amazing! Changing my work! Thank you, Sir!
Thanks Nikolay! :)
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Glad I could help!
An efficiency note when linking to headers:
When it drops down the list, highlight the one you want and hit tab. It will autofill with it and leave you inside the double brackets so you can follow up with a # or whatever instead of having to go back into the brackets to complete the link.
Bro. Literally killing it out here. So clean.
Thanks! Appreciate it! :)
very clear, and concise thank you sir
Glad it helped!
*TIP* : 11:00 Actually, you don't have to come all the way down at all for the footnote using the [^1] [^1]: add footnote definition method. You can literally type type the definition on the next line, and Obsidian will move it all the way down automatically in Reading mode.
Thanks for all the tips! Most of what you covered here aren't in others' tutorials. I especially like the "Advanced Linking, Aliases" part! I made navigation bars like in Wikipedia for some of my lists.
I'm glad! :) Thanks!
Best obsidian tutorial out there.. I keep coming back when I forget and get lost.
Thank you! ❤️
This was so useful!! Thank you! subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy the content!
To-the-point, Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
Thanks for this, was wondering about the aliases in linking
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your vid deserve more view. Very comprehensive, thankyou.
Thanks for the kind words! :)
I signed the newslwtter, but I would prefer RSS, to keep up to date.
Thanks again. Every time I come back, a learn something I missed the last time.
cheers! that was a perfect simple to the point video!!
Glad you liked it!
All my questions answered in just the first 5 minutes. Damn.
Thank you
That's always my goal! :)
Great video, thanks 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful, thanks buddy !
Glad it helped!
Excellent video. Is there a way to get automated Table of Contents an outline of note based on Headers?
Or do I have to create that manually with double brackets?
thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.
Thank you. Great!
Glad it was helpful!
Once more, thanks for the video. Now I got to do more with Obsidian.
Thanks Mauro :)
The renaming of internal linking was the real prize winner for me !!!
Still working as of today! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much! :) That means a lot!
Awesome program
Woww! That is the best Obsidian tutorial out there.
Thanks for the kind words!
Where do you get the hour glass to create two panes? Did I miss a video on a plugin?
clean explanation. perfect
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is it possible to export it as pdf and still get the links (on the same page)?
I like this guy. Great vids!
That means a lot! Thank you and happy new year! :)
Thanks bro
amazing videos, you sold me on the app. I am still a bit confused about how does the whole thing work. More specifically, how do I keep track of citations and references? Thank you
Is there a way to add an empty text box for completion? like a textarea
i dont have that sunglass icon can u please guide me how to enable it
Hi Sergio. I'm back! I went to Evernote (like a dummy) - but they've made impossible to stay with them. So it's "Obsidian all the way!" (and your videos) for me. The reason I left is because of the way that Obsidian handles publishing of the vaults. I'm developing workarounds to make it happen with Obsidian..
Hey Mark! Just saw this, was on break! Good to hear from you, oh no! Hopefully you figure a way around!
Command plus enter does not work in my obsidian when trying to make a task list. It is really frustrating. How do I make it work?
thanks helpful vid
Glad it helped
Hi, great work, appreciated. Can you exlain how to user special symbols like '&,%' in our docuentation using markuplanguae.
How would I link to a specific project?
I have a list of things under a header called # List 1.
Is there a shortcut command to extract this list to another note without having to copy and paste? I'm on my mobile 95% of the time.
Only on my laptop 1-3 times a month. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is there not a way to display a formatting ribbon of tools like every other editor ever? I want to use this but I'm not a programmer or want to memorize a bunch of hidden commands for simple things like alignment/bold/boxes/etc..
Thanks for a great tutorial.
Is there a quick way to double underscore or double anything to finish a syntax like bold or italic?
There is actually. Simply select the text you want to turn bold or italic and press CMD(or CTRL) + B to turn it bold, and CMD + I for italics. Hope this helps!
didn't find it exhaustive, but rather condensed to comprehensive bits, but i'll check out the site to make my own vocabularies accordingly ; )
Why I cannot create checkbox when press "command" and "enter" would you help to teach me
make more of these i like these vids keep it up
Glad you enjoy them! Will do :)
keep going borther ❤❤
Thanks Imad ❤️
excellent starter
what about putting color on text? it is possible?
How do I do both bold and italics?
wait im confused on how you nested the lists. It doesn't work for me
Nice summary 👍
9:36 - for some reason that first approach for footnotes doesn't render quite the same for me, it doesn't have the arrow button or a superscript footnote link (renders as "This is a footnote1" in read mode).
The second approach works great though
Oh, that's weird, do you have Live preview turned on? Some people have some light bugs with that feature turned on.
@@FromSergio no change with live preview off, however just had a closer look at your example and it turns out it wasn't working because I had put "Footnotes:" on the line immediately before the footnote definitions. Looks like it only works if the footnotes section is separated with an empty line
it does not work for me though, and I have a line of space after each line of text:(
Edit: it does work if the second method is used: This is a footnote^[Definition of footnote]
0:35 No sunglasses icon in my Obsidian. Where do I find that function?
Three dots, Split Right. In case someone wondering.
This is much better if you could just highlight words with your cursor then a prompt would pop up to replace it with another syntax. Just like how notion does it. Or is there a new community plugin for this?
I am a macOS user, there are some differences, especially now with version 1. I am new to Obsidian and was greatly confused why I couldn't get the checklist to work. The keys won't work now for us, use Command + L. Even then I can't make rows of checklist or even columns of checklist.
CMD + L + [Enter] creates a row! Just make sure each checklist has some text in it.
GOD!!!My broo
:)
that was heavy and i dont really think ill ever use half of it but thanks at least i now know how to do things i really wanted to do like showing specific parts of a note instead of the entire note with the ![[ ]] thing
Yup I'm aware it was a lot, it was intended to be a video to be referenced whenever you want to use more specific markdown syntax as well as a video providing a solid base!
@@FromSergio i love the fact that i thought the syntax was a lot before watching the video about dataview haha
Now it look like kid stuff in comparison 😂 i guess I should not do everything in one go haha
this is crazy
What is the “pipe”?
" | " - pipe symbol
You do make great videos, make a PDF of it and make a little on the side. Just saying!
Hi Michael! I Appreciate it! If I did make a PDF I wouldn't charge for it. But thanks for the feedback it's definitely appreciated! :)
@@FromSergio Would like a copy of That PDF.
I dont know why footnotes is not working for me. [^1] and [^1]:
Thanks FromSergio for your extremely helpful videos.
Cristiano, the caret symbol ^ from the keyboard set which I must use ("U.S."), is not the same character that Obsidian needs for this to work (although they look almost identical). I changed momentarily to another keyboard set (on the Mac: System Preferences > Keyboards > "U.S. International - PC") and it worked. I copied and pasted the correct caret symbol ^ into an Obsidian starred note (easily accessible), and returned the keyboard set to "U.S.". I paste this character every time I need to create footnotes - it's a bit time consuming but it works. (I don't know yet how to create a shortcut in Alfred or Keyboard Maestro to input this character in Obsidian, but it is certainly possible).
I runned into another problem today (probably also related to my limited knowledge). After watching this video I learned that a plugin isn't necessary to create footnotes, so I uninstalled the plugin which I had previously used. (Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and can't remember it's name).
The problem is that although I can see older footnotes in Preview Mode (created months ago with that plugin), I can't edit these older footnotes anymore. They don't even appear in Edit Mode - although in Preview Mode their numbering updates correctly to accommodate newly created footnotes (those created today, after the plugin was uninstalled). The new footnotes seem to be working fine.
I'd like to extensively use footnotes in Obsidian from now on. Please, am I right to think that this function is already very solid, even without any special plugin being needed? (The footnotes I created in the past are not important - they were mere tests).
Thank you very much, everyone.
@@claudio888 tks Cláudio! I haven't tried to use footnotes again... I'll try to switch the keyboard to see what'll happen...
god bless u xdd
Bro i just wanna change the font
Great video, please don’t forget that Linux and Windows have same shortcuts. Linux is the operating system that is more polished that Mac OS in terms of how it works. Mac has a lot of issues with how it’s processor works which is fixed in Linux.
I use linux on my servers, I still prefer mac and windows as a desktop experience but thanks for the reminder.
Lol
HELP
non of this works
Switch to reading mode to view the changes.
Quick note: in newer Obsidian versions, to create a checklist (at least on Windows), you'll need to press *CTRL+L* instead of *CTRL+Enter key*
This behavior can be changed to whatever combo you'd like to use if you go to "Settings > Hotkeys > Toggle checkbox status" , Switch to reading mode to view the changes.
It’s impossible to see your screen which makes it mostly useless
Thanks!
Thanks once again for the generosity and kind words! Humbled!
