Embedded Content

Embedding lets you display the content of other notes or media directly in the current note, rather than only placing a jump link. It is often used to reuse templates, aggregate materials, and centrally manage images.

Note

The syntax is to prepend ! to a Wiki link: ![[Note Name]].

Basic Syntax

![[Note Name]]

The current note will inline-render all the content of "Note Name".

Embedding a Heading

Embed only a specific heading and its sub-content from the target note:

![[Note Name#Heading]]

Suitable for extracting a single section from a long note for reuse.

Embedding an Image

![[image.png]]

Images in the vault are displayed directly at the current position (the standard ![alt](path) syntax is also supported).

Embedding Video / Audio

![[video.mp4]]
![[audio.mp3]]

Video and audio files in the vault are rendered as inline players.

Use Cases

  • Quoting paragraphs: embed common descriptions and definitions from a "mother note" in multiple places; update one place and it changes everywhere
  • Centrally managing images: store images uniformly in an assets-style folder and reference them via embedding in the body text
  • Content aggregation pages: use embedding to combine multiple notes into a "daily / weekly report / index page"
  • Reusing templates: embed a template note into a new note to quickly apply its structure
Tip

Embedding works best combined with 03-Knowledge-Management/01-Wiki-Links: use [[Note]] to jump and ![[Note]] to inline, choosing as needed.

Notes and Cautions

  • Embedded content is read-only and cannot be edited directly in the current note
  • Modifying the source note is reflected synchronously in all the places that embed it
  • Multimedia files such as images, video, and audio can be embedded
  • Deeply nested embedding (A embeds B, B embeds C) also expands normally
