Trouble with Table Alignment and Mermaid Diagrams in Obsidian

Help
1

I’m having some trouble with table formatting and Mermaid diagrams in Obsidian, as described in the (Advanced formatting syntax - Obsidian Help). I’ve followed the guide for creating tables with column alignment and adding Mermaid diagrams, but I’m running into a few issues:

  1. Table Alignment: Despite following the guidelines to align text in my tables using colons in the header row, the columns still don’t align as expected in Live Preview. Here’s the code I’m using for the table:
| Left-aligned text | Center-aligned text | Right-aligned text |
| :--               | :--:                | --:                |
| Content           | Content             | Content            |

Even though I’ve specified the :--, :--:, and --: for alignment, the content in the table columns isn’t aligning correctly. Any suggestions on what I might be missing?

  1. Mermaid Diagrams: I’m trying to create a flowchart using Mermaid, but when I try to link nodes with internal links, the links don’t seem to work correctly. Here’s the code I’m using for the diagram:
graph TD
A[Biology] --> B[Chemistry]
class A,B internal-link;

The diagram displays correctly, but the internal links aren’t showing up as clickable links in the Graph view. I’ve also tried using more complex diagrams with multiple nodes, but the links don’t seem to register. Here’s a more complex example I’m testing:

graph TD
A[Biology] --> B[Chemistry]
A --> C[Physics]
class A,B,C internal-link;

Any idea why the internal links aren’t working or if I’m missing any syntax or settings to make them clickable in Obsidian? :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve double-checked the syntax and followed the instructions in the documentation, but I’m still stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
