[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) is a relatively new entrant in the increasingly crowded Markdown knowledge base and note-taking market. Obsidian's excellent Markdown support and its simple, straightforward design makes it a standout application in the category.

Obsidian sports virtually all of the standard fare common to the other applications in this category, but it ups the ante by including a number of other features for power users. There's a visually-striking graph view that's a kind of "mind map" of all your files stored in Obsidian, a "Markdown format importer" that can find and replace certain Markdown syntax elements in your files, and support for [math](https://publish.obsidian.md/help/How+to/Format+your+notes) and [diagram](https://publish.obsidian.md/help/How+to/Format+your+notes) syntax. That really just scratches the surface of Obsidian's capabilities. Obsidian is extensible, and there are dozens of free community plugins available within the application.

Two other features are worth mentioning. Obsidian provides a simple way to publish notes to the internet, and it stores all of your files in plaintext Markdown files containing only the text you enter.

### Support for Additional Syntax Elements

As an added bonus, Obsidian provides support for several obscure elements.

<tr>
<th>Element</th>
<th>Markdown</th>
<th>Rendered Output</th>
</tr>

<td>Highlight</td>
<td><code>==word or phrase==</code></td>
<td><mark>word or phrase</mark></td>
