As, unfortunately, the original bug was closed, I will provide my explanation here.
I am sure that this behavior is the violation of the Obsidian team’s claim
Obsidian strives for maximum capability without breaking any existing formats. As a result, we use a combination of flavors of Markdown.
As a proof of violation of the mentioned principle
- Open attached vault (2.9 KB) in Obsidian
- Go to
Folder/B.md
note - Observe behavior of each link
- Open
Folder/B.md
in any other markdown editor - Observe behavior of each link
- Notice the difference in steps #3 and #5
I understand why it might be undesirable for the Obsidian team to change behavior of the link handling, even if it breaks the markdown spec. I understand that just correcting the behavior might break existing vaults. That’s why I suggested to make the link resolution configurable.
