[[Using obsidian URI|Obsidian URI]] links can be used to open notes in Obsidian either from another Obsidian vault or another program.
For example, you can link to a file in a vault like so (please note the [[Using obsidian URI#Encoding|required encoding]]):
[Link to note](obsidian://open?path=D:%2Fpath%2Fto%2Ffile.md)Link to note
You can link to a note by its vault name and file name instead of path as well:
[Link to note](obsidian://open?vault=MainVault&file=MyNote.md)Link to note
[You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions][1]
Or leave it empty and use the [link text itself][]

[link text itself]: http://www.reddit.comYou can use numbers for reference-style link definitions
Or leave it empty and use the link text itself
If there are spaces in the url, they can be escaped by either using %20 as a space, such as:
[Export options](Pasted%20image)Or you can enclose the target in <>, such as:
[Slides Demo](<Slides Demo>)- Copy the iframe of youtube and paste it
or...
They can't be added directly but you can add an image with a link to the video like this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:
First Header | Second Header
------------ | ------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column| First Header | Second Header |
|---|---|
| Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2 |
| Content in the first column | Content in the second column |
Tables can be justified with a colon | Another example with a long title
:----------------|-------------:
because of the `:` | these will be justified
If you put links in tables, they will work, but if you use Piped Links, the pipe must be escaped with a `\` to prevent it being read as a table element.| Tables can be justified with a colon | Another example with a long title |

Obsidian uses Mermaid to render diagrams and charts. Mermaid also provides a helpful live editor.
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
Alice->>+John: Hello John, how are you?
Alice->>+John: John, can you hear me?
John-->>-Alice: Hi Alice, I can hear you!
John-->>-Alice: I feel great!
```sequenceDiagram
Alice->>+John: Hello John, how are you?
Alice->>+John: John, can you hear me?
John-->>-Alice: Hi Alice, I can hear you!
John-->>-Alice: I feel great!
Obsidian supports linking to notes in Mermaid:
```mermaid
graph TD
Biology --> Chemistry
class Biology,Chemistry internal-link;
```An easier way to do it is the following: ^376b9d
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Biology]
B[Chemistry]
A --> B
class A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z internal-link;
```This way, all the note names (at least until Z[note name]) are all automatically assigned the class internal-link when you use this snippet.
If you use special characters in your note names, you need to put the note name in double quotes.
"⨳ special character"
It looks like this if you follow the [[Format your notes#^376b9d|second option]]:
A["⨳ special character"]
