Supported syntax

GitHub-Flavored Markdown is the main syntax that Trilium is following.

Images#

When exporting, images are usually kept in the basic Markdown syntax but will use the HTML syntax if the image has a custom width. Figures are always embedded as HTML.

Tables#

Simple tables are supported with the Markdown syntax. If the table is too complex or contains elements that would render as HTML, the table is also rendered as HTML.

Links#

Standard Markdown links are supported.

Trilium internal links (that mirror a note's title and display its icon) are embedded as HTML in order to preserve the information on import.

Math equations#

Both inline and display equations are supported, using the $ and $$ syntaxes.

Admonitions#

The Markdown syntax for admonitions as supported by Trilium is the one that GitHub uses, which is as follows:

&gt; [!NOTE]
&gt; This is a note.

&gt; [!TIP]
&gt; This is a tip.

&gt; [!IMPORTANT]
&gt; This is a very important information.

&gt; [!CAUTION]
&gt; This is a caution.

There are currently no plans of supporting alternative admonition syntaxes such as !!! note.

Wikilinks#

Basic support for wikilinks has been added in v0.96.0:

[[foo/bar]] will look for the bar.md file in the foo directory and turn it into an internal link.
![[foo/baz.png]] will look for the baz.png file in the foo directory and turn it into an image.

This feature is import-only, which means that it will turn wikilinks into Trilium-compatible syntax, but it will not export Trilium Notes into Markdown files with this syntax.
