Can Elements be used to create a digital garden type website? In particular does it work with markdown text and bi-directional links generated in a note-taking app like Obsidian?
You absolutely can create a digital garden type website in Elements, if you build the entire thing in Elements it will handle the links for you.
However, if you go the markdown route, you’d have to know the URL to the page you want to link to. You can’t use the same syntax as you would in Obsidian.
Hope that helps!
