When using [due:: YYYY-MM-DD] it become hidden in edit mode and only shows if the cursor comes in contact with it. It will show when in reading view. I would like to be able to see the due date on a task without having to change the mode or move the cursor around to see if one exists. Am I missing a settings somewhere?
This?
- Two adjoining bracketed sections and the [second] [section] disappears. I don’t know why.
- You can solve this by using an intermediate character:
- Two adjoining bracketed sections with an intermediate character and the [second] > [section] appears
Tested this on the commonmark dingus, and it parsed as visible text.
Something unique to Obsidian? A bug? I don’t know.

Thank you! That is good enough for my needs to fix it.
Might be worth opening a bug report then
Live Preview does that because 2 adjoining bracketed sections are the first part of a reference-style link. This is a style of Markdown link that lets you move the URL out of the text like a footnote, making the source text easier to read. Unfortunately they aren’t well supported in Obsidian.

What you’re seeing shouldn’t happen unless there’s a corresponding URL line, but that’s a little complicated and Live Preview doesn’t understand. As you’ve seen, Reading View treats it correctly.
