Additional markdown syntax not rendering

[catasaurus]

🐛 Describe the bug

When I create checkboxes, they simply do not render. I don't know the expected behavior for the rendering of other markdown, but I have seen screenshots of checkboxes rendered. I know I wrote them right as when I open the file in Obsidian (the desktop client), they render perfectly fine.

Hey @catasaurus, please check if your conceallevel is set properly. See https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim#concealing-characters.

I have a similar issue. I have to set the conceallevel exactly to "1", to see the rendered checkboxes:

For conceallevel=0 I get this (expected):

For conceallevel=3 (which is my default) I get nothing (unexpected):

[sebassdc]

@epwalsh @alphaone Thank you! that did the trick on my end

[epwalsh]

Just to reiterate, obsidian.nvim sets explicit conceal characters, so either conceallevel=1 or conceallevel=2 will work. conceallevel=3 forces even the overlayed characters to be hidden. A quick way to ensure this is set correctly for markdown files is to add a file called after/ftplugin/markdown.lua in your neovim config directory (usually ~/.config/nvim) with the following:

vim.opt_local.conceallevel = 2

I've just pushed a commit that will warn users when they have obsidian.nvim's UI features enabled yet their conceallevel isn't set correctly.

[FilipHarald]

@epwalsh I think the conceal-level warning could be useful. But how do I turn the warning off if I want to see all characters, and actually have vim.opt_local.conceallevel = 0?

[epwalsh]

@FilipHarald you can simply disable this plugin's UI features by setting ui.enable = false in your obsidian.nvim config.

Thanks for all the help! Sorry I took a while to check back on this.
