I've been using Obsidian for a few months. It helped me concentrate all my scattered personal notes from various sources to one place. Later I created another vault for work stuff.

But.

Obsidian is markdown. Shortly before I started with it, I started learning and using asciidoc for work. And switching between them messes with my head more than I like.

Also, it feels wrong to use markdown when taking notes about asciidoc.

Anyone in the same boat?

Wow. I'd never heard of asciidoc before this, but I can see how the two formats would be difficult to keep straight.

Yeah, it's much more niche, but also more complex.

I don't need the complexity for my personal notes, but it's useful for my documentation work.

I use pandoc for converting back and forth. But obsidian use quite some metadata so I struggle adopting it. Patat for presentation. Try pandoc asciidoc -> md a let me know if it works well.

I know about pandoc, but I'm not sure converting back and forth is what I want to do. I don't think I need it either, it's just that switching (in my mind) between two similar formats is confusing.
