Thank you very much for this guide.

I don't know if this falls under your project scope, but I have a suggestion.

By default, Obsidian saves links in notes using the "shortest path" , which reduces compatibility: the links don't work in anything but Obsidian.

I found two plugins that manage relative links:

Thanks. I’m wondering if this is somewhat related to the embedding images issue I discuss. Seems like obsidian was doing weird path reference logic. Could you give the ‘Embeds your images’ section of my README a read and see if you think it’s related.

Happy to include but could you unpack the problem / solution a bit more cause I mostly get it but not fully there.

I've had a bit of a read, seems a key benefit is if you want to host your markdown library into say Github or onto the web.

Adding one of these "Consistent Attachments and Links" libraries makes the links more explicit and hence more portable.

I think that's pretty desirable, I'll add a discussion on my project, feel free to raise other topics in discussion any time folks.
