docs/obsidian-help/Editing and formatting/Obsidian Flavored Markdown.md

Obsidian strives for maximum capability without breaking any existing formats. As a result, we use a combination of flavors of [[Basic formatting syntax|Markdown]].

Obsidian supports CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown, and LaTeX. Obsidian does not support using Markdown formatting or blank lines inside of HTML tags.
