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.

quartz.config.yaml

plugins:
  - source: github:quartz-community/roam
    enabled: true
    order: 25 # must come before obsidian-flavored-markdown
  - source: github:quartz-community/obsidian-flavored-markdown
    enabled: true
    order: 30

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

quartz.ts (override)

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

Warning

In YAML, plugin execution order is controlled by the order field. Ensure roam has a lower order value than obsidian-flavored-markdown so it runs first.

Customization

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