Obsidian Flavored Markdown Compatibility

Aino LifeOS is fully compatible with Obsidian Flavored Markdown (OFM). You can directly open an Obsidian Vault and all notes will render and edit correctly.

Aino LifeOS uses the same Wikilink syntax as Obsidian to connect notes:

<!-- Basic link -->

[[Another Note]]

<!-- With display text -->

[[Another Note|Click here]]

<!-- Link to heading -->

[[Another Note#Some Heading]]

<!-- Link to block -->

[[Another Note#^block-id]]

When you type [[, a search panel pops up automatically to help you quickly find the target note.

Embed Syntax

Use ![[]] to embed other content in the current note:

<!-- Embed entire note -->

![[Another Note]]

<!-- Embed image -->

![[screenshot.png]]

<!-- Embed specific paragraph -->

![[Note Name#^block-id]]

Callout Blocks

Same Callout syntax as Obsidian:

> [!note] Title
> This is a note callout.

> [!tip] Tip
> Useful advice.

> [!warning] Warning
> Something to be careful about.

> [!info]
> Additional information.

Supports all Obsidian built-in Callout types: note, tip, warning, info, abstract, todo, success, question, failure, danger, bug, example, quote.

Frontmatter (Properties)

YAML metadata at the top of notes is fully compatible:

---
title: My Note
tags:
  - work
  - project-a
date: 2024-03-15
aliases:
  - alias
---

Aino LifeOS displays Frontmatter as a form for easy visual editing.

Comment Syntax

Obsidian's %% comment syntax is fully supported:

%%This text won't show in preview mode%%

%%
Multi-line comments
are also supported
%%

LifeOS templates make extensive use of comments to annotate the purpose of each module.

Coexistence with Obsidian

Aino LifeOS and Obsidian can use the same vault folder simultaneously without data conflicts. We recommend editing a file with only one app at a time to avoid write conflicts.
