• MdBook – Create book from Markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

  Found: https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export but hope this can be part of a single solution.

• Using Github to write my notes has helped me retain knowledge immensely.

  I use this obsidian-export CLI program to convert prior to pushing to my repo and it's been working pretty well. This gives me a read-only version of my notes that is accessible from devices I don't have obsidian on (work laptop, for example).

• Personal knowledge base: Any tool/software suggestions?

  If you limit your use of third party plugins, you can always use https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export for this as well. I originally built it for exactly this use case (but now also use it as a crucial step in my pipeline to publish content to my own website)

• D&D template?

  I have similar folders to [Oudwin](https://www.reddit.com/user/Oudwin/)... - dm - _inbox - assets - checklist - communications - research-reference - elements - sessions Additionally, I have had reasonable success using [obsidian-export](https://github.com/zoni/obsidian-export) to export my Obsidian vault to CommonMark. From there you have more options. I then build html pages using [mdbook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/) to control the information that is revealed to players. I am playing with using [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) to see if it offers more control/flexibility. Regardless, the /elements folder contains all the lore chunks of the world including information I keep on the PCs. The /communications and /sessions folders can contain info with links to /elements that are revealed as needed. I make heavy use of transclusion ![[CoolThingFormAnotherFolder]] to keep it a bit more elegant and some custom styles are needed to make it how it look how I wish.

• Export Vault/Notes to a standalone wiki html?
  1 project | /r/ObsidianMD | 14 Nov 2021

  I have had reasonable success using obsidian-export to export a vault to CommonMark. From there you have more options. I am using it for world-building in D&D and I then build html pages using mdbook to control the information that is revealed to players.

• New User - Should I stay with pure markdown or use Obsidian extra commands/syntax?

  Shameless plug: obsidian-export. It will convert [[WikiLinks]] and ![[Embeds]] to plain Markdown (among a few other things) so you'll always have a way to go back if Obsidian doesn't work out the way you hoped.

• What Settings to Use to Make Notes Created in Obsidian the Most Universally Compatible

  So really you can't get what you want at all. You could try an external tool like this to export your notes to commonmark which is more widely supported. Ultimately if you are changing the path to files outside of obsidian (meaning they won't be automatically updated) you will break links. So maybe your best bet is to use wikilinks + an export tool.
