Obsidian Embeds

Source: help.obsidian.md · Status: open/active

Obsidian’s transclusion syntax — file embeds a block from another note; the mechanism every generated roster uses to keep Summary/Definition cells in sync with their source entities.

The ^summary block-id convention rides on this: entities carry one defining paragraph tagged ^summary, and index.md / glossary.md / references.md transclude it instead of copying text. The docs site renders no transclusions, so site pages inline the extracted text — same source, second projection.
