# Obsidian Flavored Markdown

Obsidian strives for maximum capability without breaking any existing formats. As a result, we use a combination of flavors of Markdown.

Obsidian supports CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown, and LaTeX. Obsidian does not support using Markdown formatting or blank lines inside of HTML tags.
