## Supported syntax
* [GitHub-Flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) is the main syntax that Trilium is following.
* Images are supported. 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 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.
* <a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/Text/Block%20quotes%20%26%20admonitions.md">Admonitions</a> are supported using GitHub's format.
* Links are supported. “Reference links” (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 are supported using `$` and `$$` syntaxes.

# Supported syntax
[GitHub-Flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) 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:
```
> [!NOTE]
> This is a note.
> [!TIP]
> This is a tip.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This is a very important information.
> [!CAUTION]
> 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.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The path to pages in wikilinks is resolved relatively to the _import root_ and not the current directory of the note. This is to be inline with other platforms that use wikilinks such as SilverBullet.
>
> The root path of the import is determined as follows:
>
> * If there is a single directory within the archive at root level, then that directory is considered the root.
> * If there are multiple files & directories at root level, then the archive root (containing all of these items) is considered the root.
