Export pure markdown notes without internal-links

[zhixiangcai]

In order to remember my notes I have a strong need to copy them from Obsidian into Anki. Since my notes have a lot of internal-links, they are very powerful, but they are not valid information for Anki or other text editor.

It would be very very nice if Obsidian could export pure markdown notes with no bidirectional links. I think this feature will be more existential with the new version introducing block references, and I can expect users to generate a huge number of block reference ids, while these links are useless information for other software.

Feature description
Notes from Obsidian:

• This is a note linked to [[Note-2 | another note]]

Pure markdown notes exported:

• This is a note linked to another note.

Hi,
There is a workaround.

Obsidian export to pdf via Typora

TLDR: This is a workaround to export pdf from Obsidian via typora using python script. Requirement: You need to have python and Typora installed. And change two paths in the script as instructed.(I’m a python beginner, and I learnt regex few hours ago, so my code might be ugly… ) import re attachment_folder = r"D:\\Important\\Obsidian\\My notes\\_resources" file_path = "C:\\Users\\Frank\\Desktop\\test.md" ''' replace above two paths with yours. Windows User:BACKSLASH NEEDS TO BE DOUBL…

You could export your md file as another one without internal-links via the simple python code. (It could be any program language with regexp.)

...
# let [[Link Name]] ==> Link Name,  [[Link Name|Altr Name]] ==> Altr Name
text = re.sub("\[(?:\[|\[[^\]]*\|)([^\]\|]+)\]\]", r"\1", text)
...

e.g.

regex101: build, test, and debug regex

I tend to write blog posts in Markdown, and then copy/paste into my blog editor. I thought about an intermediate step where I copy the post text to my clipboard, then run a Python script on that text to remind the wiki links, and output the “cleaned” content back to my clipboard.

Your code snippet will be super useful. Thank you.

wow! This method is very easy and impressive, thank you very much!!

did you create the python script in the end?
