What I’m trying to do
Suppose your randomly generated youtube link (which you have no control over) contains markdown characters… is it possible for obsidian markdown to not try to convert it to italics but respect it as a youtube link?
Can you please post the actual url as text surrounded by backticks, instead of a screenshot?
That will help us test it out, and know whether this is a syntax issue. Because I can’t seem to recreate the problem. It’s possible the actual parsing problem is happening in a line above.
BUT, your solution might be as simple as putting <> around the url.
!()[<your_url>]
Example where I put some == highlight in the url, because I couldn’t recreate yours exactly for some reason.
Oh also… it’s supposed to be:
Not
!()[url]
oops mea culpa! (url)
