← Overview

Two kinds of links: to web pages, and to other parts of your own document.

External links

An external link to the [Obsidian website](<https://obsidian.md>) and a bare URL <https://obsitex.com> in the text.

An external link to the \href{<https://obsidian.md>}{Obsidian website} and a bare URL \url{<https://obsitex.com>} in the text.

• [text](url) becomes a clickable link with your text.
• A bare URL you type is linked automatically.

Cross-references to headings

Use an Obsidian wikilink to point at a heading elsewhere in your document. Obsitex turns it into a smart reference like "see Section 3.2":

A cross-reference to [[Methods#Approach]], and one with custom text [[Methods#Approach|the approach]].

A cross-reference to \vref{subsec:methods_approach}, and one with custom text \hyperref[subsec:methods_approach]{the approach}.

• [[Note#Heading]] → a numbered reference to that heading.
• [[Note]] (no heading) → the note's first # heading.
• [[Note#Heading|your text]] → the same reference, shown with your own link text.

How it looks in the PDF

Tips & pitfalls

• Links resolve by file name, not by title — see Naming conventions. A note with no # heading cannot be linked (the link falls back to plain text).
• The reference label is generated for you; you never type it.
