# Obsidian Markdown Showcase: Links and Embeds This post demonstrates linking and embedding features in Obsidian. ## Internal Links (Wikilinks) Obsidian uses wikilink syntax for internal navigation: - Basic link: [[Hello world]] - Link with alias: [[MCP - Model Context Protocol|Learn about MCP]] - Link to heading: [[Obsidian Markdown Showcase - Text Formatting#Callouts]] - Link to block: [[Obsidian Markdown Showcase - Text Formatting#^important-block]] ## External Links Standard markdown links work too: - [Obsidian Official Site](https://obsidian.md) - [Obsidian Help Documentation](https://help.obsidian.md) - Bare URL: https://obsidian.md ## Image Embeds External images with standard markdown: With custom sizing using Obsidian syntax: ## Note Embeds You can embed entire notes or sections: ![[Hello world]] Embedding a specific heading section: ![[MCP - Model Context Protocol#Overview]] ## Audio and Video (if supported) Audio embed syntax: ![[audio-file.mp3]] Video embed syntax: ![[video-file.mp4]] YouTube embeds using iframe: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## PDF Embeds ![[document.pdf]] With specific page: ![[document.pdf#page=5]] ## Link Formatting Variations - **Bold link**: **[[Hello world]]** - *Italic link*: *[[Hello world]]* - `Code link`: `[[Hello world]]` - Link in ==highlight==: ==[[Hello world]]== ## Alias Examples [[Hello world|My First Post]] [[MCP - Model Context Protocol|The MCP Protocol Explained]] ## Unresolved Links These links point to non-existent notes (should render differently): [[Non-existent Note]] [[Future Article Ideas]] [[TODO - Write This Later]] ## Reference-Style Links This uses reference-style links[ref1] which can be cleaner[ref2] in longer documents.
