Embedding Code Files in Markdown

In Obsidian, you can use wiki double-link syntax (![[]]) to embed other files. Based on this feature, we can render code file content in markdown files.

Prerequisites

• In Obsidian settings, Files & Links -> Use [[Wikilinks]] must be enabled
• In plugin settings Sessions -> Register File Types, the file type you want to embed must be registered

File Reference with Line Range

Use ![[file#L1]] to render only the code content of line 1

Use ![[file#L1-L20]] to render code content from lines 1-20

Navigate to Code File

Click the icon in the top-right corner of the embed block to open the code file in a new tab

Height of Embedded View

Change the value in plugin settings Extensions -> Max Height of Embedded Code Block

The unit is px. After changing, you need to reopen the markdown file for it to be properly rendered in reading mode.
