Formatting in custom display text for internal link

[rab]

What I’m trying to do

Get formatting in the display text for an internal link, like [[my-page|_italicized text_]]

Things I have tried

What I wrote above.

What happens

Unfortunately, when rendered (either in live preview or reading view), this is just rendered as the literal _italicized text_ and not italicized text.

Workarounds

It seems to be possible to use [markdown](_links_) instead — they’re rendered correctly — but I’d rather use the [[internal link|syntax]] if possible.

The FR is here:

Support Markdown markup in wikilink alias (like standard markdown links)

These two ways refer to a page with an alias for the link: [[Obsidian|`obsidian`]] [`obsidian`](Obsidian.md) I would expect both links to render as obsidian (i.e. monospace code), but the wikilink renders as `obsidian`. (The Markdown link as obsidian.) Would it be possible to add support for markup in wikilink aliases as well?

Looks like you posted there a bit ago but maybe forgot. I’ve certainly done that a few times

Would putting the asterisks or underscores outside the link work for you? That appears to work, but may need some CSS for a custom bold or italic color.

_[[note|note]]_
**[[note|note]]**

Thank you. The issue is when I want to apply formatting to only part of the alias, like [[note|*my* **note**]], and also it doesn’t work with monospace.

Since the other thread exists (and apparently I even commented on it a while back, so this isn’t the first time I’ve wished for this functionality; guess I couldn’t find it again when I searched) I suggest closing this thread and just referring to that one.
