Obsidian Markdown now allows you to create callout blocks (sometimes called "admonitions"). Callouts are written as a blockquote, inspired by the "alert" syntax from Microsoft Docs.
A big shoutout to @javalent from the community for creating and maintaining the Admonitions plugin, from whom we've gotten a ton of help and inspiration!
For compatibility reasons, if you're also using the Admonitions plugin, you should update it to at least v8.0.0 to avoid problems with the new callout system.
Callouts will also be supported natively on Obsidian Publish.
See our documentation for more on how to use callouts.
Example:
> [!INFO]
> Here's a callout block.
> It supports **Markdown** and [[wikilinks]].

Live Preview While this feature works pretty well already, it hasn't been fully mobile optimized, so there could still be some usability issues when using with a touch-only device, such as editing embeds and code blocks. In the meantime, feel free to use Source Mode when that happens. You can do that by long-holding the 3 dot button on the top right and hitting "Toggle Live Preview/Source mode" (or run a command from the pull down menu or bottom toolbar).
Vim mode Support for vim mode is now available, but must be enabled on a per-device basis on mobile. It is not really usable on a mobile device without an external keyboard.
Others Drag and drop features from desktop is now generally available across the app, and can be triggered by long-holding items. This includes drag and drop files and folders, starred items, and outline items.
