Obsidian, pelican, relative paths and slugs

I have a workflow issue below, and I wanted to ask you if I am correct that your reader conflicts with pandoc-reader? Also, does it correctly map Obsidian slugs with pelican slugs?


I use Obsidian to edit the markdown of two pelican blogs.
For blogging, I don’t think I can use Obsidian’s easy linking between notes and must use absolute URLs because:

  1. With Pelican, perhaps I could use pelican-obsidian plugin except that as a reader it conflicts with pandoc-reader.
  2. Obsidian’s link slugs are notes’ filenames without relative paths.
  • In Obsidian, I could use consistent attachments and links plugin and invoke Convert All Link Paths to Relative in Current Note, but that doesn’t solve the slug issue below.
  • Similarly, the obsidian-link-converter plugin can convert between wiki vs. markdown syntax and relative vs absolute paths, but that doesn’t solve the slug issue below.
  1. Pelican’s slugs are note’s title field if present in YAML.
