@Dor and @WhiteNoise, thank you both for your short and clear replies!
@WhiteNoise, the negatives you mention refer to markdown in general, I understood? Because all this stuff works perfectly within obsidian at least - actually both markdown and wiki links work exactly the same here (no problem linking to headings with markdown links either).
And you’re right, links to headings aren’t understood by other markdown editors, but at least they open the respective file for you when you click on the link - yet I just tested wiki-style links in 3 different markdown editors (re-text, ghostwriter and typora) and all three even didn’t recognize wiki links at all…
So I’m still not completely convinced, even if I like the idea of wiki-style links. But what I take from my experiments so far is the following:
- within obsidian it doesn’t matter anyway - it all brings you to the same results;
- but markdown links can at least be opened in any other editor (even if it doesn’t take you to the exact heading), whereas a couple of editors doesn’t recognize wiki links.
