What's even the point of this then? The flowchart feature is cool but I can't integrate this into my workflow unless I rename everything to .md.

ok then explain why my post is retarded mr nice guy.

Because you are retarded. just use plugins. Every problem in life solved.

You're a retard, you want git repos for that. This is a notetaking application.
>>
>closed source note taking application
shiggy diggy
>>
>>109477709
I use notepad++ for notetaking and it supports all of those because they're basically just text files with another name.
>>
>>109477709
nta, but i take notes in source files. i expect my note editor to render mermaid graph, graphviz graph, tex, markdown AND source code.

also I have a bibtex and dict lsp, pretty convenient. sadly obsidian doesn't support those.

nothing that doxygen is afraid of
>>
>>109477323
Your post is kinda funny because although notepad++ is less dogshit than obsidian, which is a TRULY retarded joke, notepad++ is still terrible garbage.
>>
>>109477762
You use a note taking application for something that's not note taking and that somehow obligates all other note taking applications to also support your non-note taking activities? You're a narcissistic spoiled brat. Stick with Notepad++ if it does what you want beyond note taking. No one owes you anything.
>>
>>109478010
All we're asking is for Obsidian to be able to try to open files as text files, something even windows notepad can do.

Thr point is to keep my grocery list. Any other perceived usecase is schizo
>>
>>109478228
Obsidian is a notetaking application that uses .md files. It's not a standard text file editor. This is why you're a retard. You're expecting the program to do something it wasn't intended for.

md files can contain code lmao

org has had that feature for 20+ years, you can even run the code embedded in your documents, like a jupyter notebook

You NEED more?

>>109478228
Write an extension if it is important to you instead of being a spoiled toddler demanding others spend their lives doing free work for your capricious desires.
>>
>>109479279
Then use org. What is the purpose of this thread other than wanting attention?
>>
>>109477269
This is an app purely for .md
If you want more use vs code. Frankly there’s no reason to not use vs code for your .md notes as well, obsidian is just good for it being the one stop shop for all your non-code notes.
>>
>>109479279
And Obsidian reads md from files. Not html, xml, java, cpp. Maybe with plugins, at best. Obsidian is not a text editor like Notepad, Notepad++, Kate, etc. Don't treat it as such. It's purely a note taking app. You're using the wrong tools for the job otherwise.
>>
>>109479576
>wrong tools
obsidian has no usecase then.
org is a strictly superior alternative to markdown. it's natively made for connecting markup documents together and with media.

even github lets you edit and render org files in your browser.

Then stop using it. It's that easy.

I created a prompt for AI that gives instructions to create bookmarks throughout the conversation to important topics and then export a brief summary of the conversation and the links. It allows me to save it to my AI log and then put the bookmarked links to specific topics in a related project folder/note. Easily clickable, back and forth from project note to logged AI conversation. All formatted for Obsidian
>>
Is there any other alike Obsidian but free? I was using "mimiri notes" nice 200 mb. cool but i feel like want a cuter note app
>>
>>109479814
Helix notes is a FOSS version of Obsidian, but my experience with it was pretty bad, hosting it on my server. 10 second lag for most actions.

Yes. So much more.

>>109477269
because its a note taking app not a code editor anon. But it does have code blocks just use `` backticks. I'm not sure the code block support java & c++ & xml specific highlighting though but im sure there are extensions for it.

Wow that was so hard. Your shitty attempts at code do not count as notes, so don't get mad at a note taking application for not running everything under the sun.

Gag me with a spoon. There is no fucking note taking app that is FOSS and slop free.

They do actually by default, if you use code blocks. You'd basically so something like:

```java
code here
```

Or:

```xml
markup here
```

The supported highlighting list is here: prismjs.com/#supported-languages
