黑曜石：Markdown 硬核用户创建知识图谱的 Notion 替代品
Markdown 知识图谱
![](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092728iergl6eayrrrwzuz.jpg)


我喜欢用 Markdown 来写文章和做笔记。我不确定我是否符合 “Markdown 硬核用户”的标准，但我觉得它对我的写作工作很方便。


我在 Linux 上试过几个 Markdown 编辑器。我最喜欢的是 [Joplin](https://itsfoss.com/joplin/)，它可以用来做笔记和组织笔记，并在 Nextcloud 上保留备份。还有 [Zettlr](https://itsfoss.com/zettlr-markdown-editor/)，它适合于研究人员。


最近，我遇到了另一个 Markdown 编辑器，它在文档整理方面意外的不错。你可以用它将你的文件相互连接起来，并以类似思维导图的图形方式显示出来。

这就是 <ruby> <a href="https://obsidian.md/">  黑曜石 </a> <rt>  Obsidian </rt></ruby> 的主要吸引力，你可以用图形的方式查看你的 Markdown 笔记，特别是当这些笔记需要相互连接的时候。当然，它也有其他的功能。

### 黑曜石 Markdown 编辑器的功能


在黑曜石里，你会发现你期望从一个标准的 Markdown 编辑器得到的所有功能。它有一个侧边栏来显示文件夹结构，还有一个主窗格来显示你的文档。你可以选择在“编辑”和“阅读”视图之间切换。


![黑曜石 Markdown 编辑器的界面](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092804x4j47qefip28je7y.png)


默认情况下，它只显示一个窗格，但你可以根据自己的喜好添加更多的窗格。例如，我添加了一个新的窗格来同时显示编辑和查看模式，这样就可以在同一时间编辑和预览文档。


![你可以垂直或水平地分割编辑器，以增加更多的窗格来并排查看](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092805qwnwzpettb4uomsp.png)


你可以通过按 `[[` 键来创建现有笔记的内部链接。它可以打开一个文件搜索器，让你从同一项目（这里称为 “<ruby> 金库 <rt>  vault </rt></ruby>”）中的现有笔记中选择。


![在黑曜石创建内部链接](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092807n7hhh3cvyb4c4hz7.png)


你可以切换到“图表视图”来显示同一个“金库”（项目）中的笔记之间的联系。我快速做了几个内部链接来进行测试，你可以看到它显示了文件之间的相互联系。


![黑曜石图表视图](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092808qrovoeeeuzsb2j04.png)


你可以图形化地进行搜索和替换。对笔记进行备注、合并文件、在笔记之间移动标题等等。


它还有一个命令模式（位于编辑器的左侧侧边栏），允许你控制编辑器的各个方面。其中一些“动作”也可以用键盘快捷键来完成。


![黑曜石命令调色板](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092810c1bwkx0by145zpvs.png)


这还不是全部。黑曜石还有一个 [社区市场](https://obsidian.md/plugins)，在那里你可以找到并安装插件来扩展其功能。例如，你可以下载看板插件，用黑曜石来管理项目和任务。


![黑曜石也有第三方的社区插件](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092811hj66ais5iieb5a6a.png)


这里还有很多功能，我不可能把它们全部列出。即使是项目网站也没有一次性列出所有的功能，这是很无奈的。


### 安装黑曜石


黑曜石是一个跨平台的应用程序，它可用于 Linux、macOS、Windows、Android 和 iOS。


对于 Linux，你可以选择使用 AppImage、Snap 或 Flatpak。我使用 AppImage 版本进行测试。你可以在其下载页面找到相关信息和文件。


* [下载黑曜石](https://obsidian.md/download)


### 它值得使用吗？


黑曜石有一个学习曲线。你当然需要了解 [Markdown 的基础知识](https://itsfoss.com/markdown-guide/)，但是除了编辑和显示 Markdown 文本之外的任何功能，你都需要在这里学习。


几乎任何应用程序都需要一些学习，但要想充分使用黑曜石，你需要付出比平常更多的努力。


但如果你是一个痴迷于 Markdown 的用户，并且有成吨的文档，这完全是值得的。这里的好处是它有 [丰富的文档](https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian/Index) 来帮助你的学习过程。当你点击帮助按钮（显示为问号）时，这些文档也可以从应用界面中获得。


![访问黑曜石的文档](/data/attachment/album/202201/31/092813zmixjsgpmu6gng4s.png)


黑曜石的界面让我觉得我在使用 VS Code，这并不是一件坏事。


如果你以 Markdown 为生，并且对正确管理你的文档很着迷，你应该考虑尝试一下黑曜石。


如果你足够喜欢它并开始定期使用它，也许你可以 [考虑捐赠](https://obsidian.md/pricing) 或使用他们的高级产品以支持这个项目的发展。高级产品包括选择将你的笔记同步到他们的云端，或者将你的笔记发布到网站上。


黑曜石已经做得很专业和漂亮了。它就像 VS Code 的 Markdown 版，它有可能成为 [Notion](https://www.notion.so/) 等的真正替代品。

I like using Markdown for writing articles and taking notes. I am uncertain if I fit the criteria for a ‘hardcore Markdown user’ or not but I find it convenient for my writing works.

I have tried several markdown editors on Linux. [Joplin](https://itsfoss.com/joplin/) is my favorite for taking and organizing notes and keeping a backup on Nextcloud. There is also [Zettlr](https://itsfoss.com/zettlr-markdown-editor/) which is suitable for researchers.

Recently, I came across another Markdown editor that has a twist on document organizing. You can use it to interlink your documents and display them in a mind-map like graphical view.

![obsidian](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/obsidian-800x424.jpg)

That’s the main attraction of [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/?ref=itsfoss.com) that you can get a graphical view of your Markdown notes specially when these notes have to be linked with each other. There are other features here as well.

Non-FOSS alert!

Initially, I thought that Obsidian was an open source software. It was only when I was looking for their source code repository (after I finished writing this article) that I realized it is [free-to-use application](https://obsidian.md/eula?ref=itsfoss.com) but not FOSS (free and open source software). Which is a shame because it’s a damn good application and hence I continued to feature it here.

## Features of Obsidian markdown editor

You’ll find all features you expect from a standard Markdown editor. There is a sidebar to show the folder structure and a main pane where your document lies. You can choose to switch between ‘edit’ and ‘read’ view.

![obsidian markdown editor](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-Markdown-Editor-800x462.png)

By default, it displays one pane only but you can add more panes as per your liking. For example, I added a new pane to show both editing and viewing modes. This enables editing and previewing the document at the same time.

![obsidian multiple pane](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-multiple-pane-800x462.png)

You can create internal links to existing notes by pressing [[ keys. It opens a file searcher and lets you select from the existing notes in the same project (called vaults here).

![obsidian internal linking](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-Internal-Linking-800x450.webp)

You can switch to the Graph view to display the connection between the notes in the same vault (project). I made a few quick internal links to perform a test and you can see that it shows how files are interlinked to each other.

![obsidian graph view](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-Graph-View-800x474.png)

You can perform search and replace graphically. Tag the notes, merge files, move headlines between notes and more.

It also has a command palette (located in the left sidebar of the editor) that allows you to control various aspects of the editor. Several of these ‘actions’ can be performed using keyboard shortcuts as well.

![obsidian command palette](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-Command-Palette-800x474.png)

This is not it. Obsidian also has a [community marketplace](https://obsidian.md/plugins?ref=itsfoss.com) where you can find and install plugins to extend its capabilities. For example, you can download the Kanban plugin and use Obsidian to manage projects and tasks.

![obsidian plugins](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-Plugins-800x364.webp)

There are plenty more features here and I can possibly not list all of them. Even the project website doesn’t list all the features at once place which is a bummer.

## Installing Obsidian

Obsidian is a cross-platform application and it is available for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS.

For Linux, you have the option to use AppImage, Snap or Flatpak. I used the AppImage version for testing. You can find relevant information and files on its download page.

## Is it worth it?

Obsidian has a learning curve. You need to learn the [basics of Markdown](https://itsfoss.com/markdown-guide/) of course but even for any features besides editing and displaying Markdown text, you need to learn things here.

Almost any application requires some learning but to use Obsidian to its fullest, you need to put in more effort than usual.

But it’s entirely worth it if you are an obsessive Markdown user and with tons of documents. The good thing here is that it has [extensive documentation](https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian/Index?ref=itsfoss.com) to help you with your learning process. This documentation is also accessible from within the application interface when you hit the Help button (displayed with a question mark).

![obsidian markdown editor help](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/01/Obsidian-Markdown-Editor-Help-800x439.png)

Obsidian interface makes me feel like I am using VS Code and that’s not a negative thing.

If you live and breathe Markdown and you are also obsessed with managing your documents properly, you should consider giving Obsidian a try.

If you like it enough and start using it regularly, perhaps you may [consider a donation](https://obsidian.md/pricing?ref=itsfoss.com) or opt-in for their premium offering to support the development of this project. The premium offering includes the option to sync your notes to their cloud or publish your notes on a website.

Obsidian has been done professionally and beautifully. It’s like Visual Studio Code for Markdown and it has the potential to become a true alternative to the likes of [Notion](https://notion.grsm.io/itsfoss?ref=itsfoss.com).
