Hello, I’m pretty new to Obsidian and immediately intimidated for posting here. I’ve just been fighting obsidian and getting really frustrated with its behavior and I have no idea whose fault it is or why it is happening.
What I’m trying to do
I’m writing my blogpost and that all I’m trying to do here. Simple text editing.
However when I try to backspace on a piece of text so that it is on a previous line, my links get deleted?!
So I’ll just have a sentence and somewhere in that sentence I have a link as [text](url).
It will then transform it to text.
Things I have tried
I don’t even know what to try. I’m just trying to backspace… I don’t understand why Obsidian would then randomly delete something…
After you’ve hit backspace and [text](url) becomes text, if you then forward arrow back to text, does it change back to [text](url)?
In Obsidian there are three editor views/modes:
editing (Source mode) → you see the raw markdown
editing (Live Preview mode) → a hybrid view that tries to give you a WYSIWYG experience by hiding Markdown if your cursor isn’t over it; this the default editing view
reading (Reading view) → the rendered HTML
If Settings → Editor → Editor status is toggled ON, you’ll see this at the lower right of your Obsidian window, and you can change views here:
