This week's video is going to be one for non-coders or developers who have found Obsidian's Markdown syntax a little confusing. This is the companion video to the Formatting Notes for Obsidian Cheat Sheet that you can get as a Patreon.

Speaking of the Cheat Sheet-- a few of you were asking me if you could get a Markdown format of that PDF so you can put it into your Obsidian vault. I've created and added that version. While I was at it, I also updated nvdh-wiki with it so you can view it on that site as well. :) This is all on the link above.

Enjoy!
