Obsidian Cheat Sheet

Correct indentation when pasting code

When pasting code into Obsidian, remember to use Ctrl Shift V (Windows) to paste as plaintext.

Ctrl V: (Notice the for-line’s indentation is wrong)

func part12(in Input) {  
   lastWin := -1  
 for _, draw := range in.Nums {  
      for k := range in.Boards {

Ctrl Shift V:

func part12(in Input) {
	lastWin := -1
	for _, draw := range in.Nums {
		for k := range in.Boards {

Inline Mermaid graphs

Mermaid is great for plotting graphs, sequence diagrams, pie charts, flowcharts.

graph LR;
A-->B-->D;
A-->C---->D;

```mermaid
graph LR;
A-->B-->D;
A-->C---->D;
```

Verbatim code blocks

Just add another backtick to your code fence, and triple backticks will show up verbatim instead of as a code block. The source code for this document uses a whopping five backticks to display this code block.
