Roam Research Compatibility

Roam Research is a note-taking tool that organizes your knowledge graph in a unique and interconnected way.

Quartz supports transforming the special Markdown syntax from Roam Research (like {{[[components]]}} and other formatting) into
regular Markdown via the RoamFlavoredMarkdown plugin.

The plugin is in the default quartz.config.yaml but disabled; set enabled: true on its entry:

quartz.config.yaml

plugins:
  - source: "@quartz-community/obsidian-flavored-markdown"
    enabled: true
    order: 40
  - source: "@quartz-community/roam"
    enabled: true
    order: 92

For the TS override approach, place overrides before loadQuartzConfig() in quartz.ts:

quartz.ts (override)

import * as ExternalPlugin from "./.quartz/plugins"
 
ExternalPlugin.RoamFlavoredMarkdown()

Warning

With ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown‘s wikilinks on (the default), syntax built on [[…]] — {{[[TODO]]}}, {{[[DONE]]}}, [[>]] — is parsed as a wikilink before this plugin runs, whatever the order, so it renders as a link. ^^highlight^^ and the other syntax not built on [[…]] work.

Customization

This functionality is provided by the RoamFlavoredMarkdown plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
