This plugin parses links and processes them to point to the right places. It is also needed for embedded links (like images). See [[Obsidian compatibility]] for more information.

[!note] For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[Configuration]] page.

This plugin accepts the following configuration options:

• markdownLinkResolution: Sets the strategy for resolving Markdown paths, can be "absolute" (default), "relative" or "shortest". You should use the same setting here as in [[Obsidian]].
  • absolute: Path relative to the root of the content folder.
  • relative: Path relative to the file you are linking from.
  • shortest: Name of the file. If this isn’t enough to identify the file, use the full absolute path.
• prettyLinks: If true (default), simplifies links by removing folder paths, making them more user friendly (e.g. folder/deeply/nested/note becomes note).
• openLinksInNewTab: If true, configures external links to open in a new tab. Defaults to false.
• lazyLoad: If true, adds lazy loading to resource elements (img, video, etc.) to improve page load performance. Defaults to false.
• externalLinkIcon: Adds an icon next to external links when true (default) to visually distinguishing them from internal links.

[!warning] Removing this plugin is not recommended and will likely break the page.
