How Notion Notion flavors its Extended Markdown Syntax Extended Markdown Syntax
This note is an experiment to see how Notion handles Markdown. This page was originally written in Notion. I see here, now, in Obsidian that Obsidian handles the exact same feature set. Neat. Obsidian also has a mechanism for storing highlights to plain text. So that’s nice.
Fully supported in Markdown:
Headings
Two
Thru Three
Something bold
Something italic
Something both
Something striken
Something in code
Block quotes
- Unordered Lists
- I expect are fine.
- Ordered lists
- are too
- Task one
- Task two is checked
