See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types.2. **Write content** using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below.3. **Link related notes** using wikilinks (`[[Note]]`) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.4. **Embed content** from other notes, images, or PDFs using the `![[embed]]` syntax. See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for all embed types.5. **Add callouts** for highlighted information using `> [!type]` syntax. See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for all callout types.6. **Verify** the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view.

The documented embed feature can display other notes, images, audio, and PDFs inside a note. The supplied material consists of Markdown syntax examples, with no scripts or commands set to execute automatically.
