[Mizu]

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy the following snippet into a note:

<u>testing link with alias [[Some Title|Some Alias]]</u>

Expected result

Live preview renders the link normally (same as reading mode):

Actual result

Obsidian treats the link as just plain text in live preview:

Additional Information

Others verified this within their version as well.

It doesn’t render anything, including bold.

We generally don’t support intermingling html and markdown. I don’t know if we are gonna support this. Please, open a feature request.

Considering it renders in reading mode, I can’t imagine this being anything other than a bug with live preview. After all, isn’t the point of live preview to be a live preview of reading mode?

It would be one thing if reading mode didn’t render it as expected, but it does, which implies that this is supported syntax.

Please move back to bug reports, or officially remove support for this from reading mode as well.

It renders inconsistently because it is unsupported. It’s unsupported, so WhiteNoise hasn’t accepted it as a bug, in multiple other threads in the past.

Render markdown inside html blocks

I’ve recently wanted to make a few columns in some of my markdown pages. I got some kind of a wiki which gathers a lot of notes of related subjects. I’ve encountered an issue when applying my columns with html and a little css. The html is processed but the markdown inside it won’t render. I think is a necessary feature because is kind of weird to have a large thin list of items in a normal/large monitor. I am also open to a workaround with pure markdown.

Parse markdown inside <details><summary> tags

Use case or problem I’m using Obsidian to write dairy, and today when I’m trying to create a folded part (<details>), I came across the problem where Markdown syntax isn’t being properly parsed & previewed; and Direct empty lines put everything below that line outside the <details>, even if </details> is after that. This empty line problem also exists in a lot of other tags, such as <font>, <center>, etc. I’ve also tried the same text on a lot of other markdown editors (randomly grabbe, al…

While Live Preview tries to mimic the reading experience, it is not and will not be 100% the same. There are things things that aren’t implemented yet but will likely be in the future (tables, footnotes) and things that won’t be implemented.

I think it’s possible select html tags like <u> will be added, so open a feature request for that but in general we won’t support mixing markdown in html blocks.
