tqs @anon12638239. yeah that what i meant. didn’t realise when i pasted as normal text it automatically changed to curly. but the one in the snippet is the correct one
cool, thanks, and I think this has been the cause of other problems in the past… how do I stop obsidian from using curly quotes? is this a setting in obsidian or my mac?
and futher complicating it, when I copy pasted the exact alias syntax from a note that worked, it also didn’t work, so could it be as @efemkay said in his forum post, that pasting a straight quote can result in a curly one?
and I might add, I see plugins that convert straight to curly quotes, which is nice for writing, which is what I do. But then it seems that straight quotes would be the default? I guess I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong to get the alias problem.
