Canvas Boards

Publishing a canvas

Name the file with __website before the .canvas extension:

My Board__website.canvas

The title is the filename with __website stripped: My Board__website.canvas → title "My Board", URL /my-board.

Node types

File nodes show the post's title and full body HTML. The linked vault file must be a published note — unpublished files render as an empty card.

Edge directionality

Edges drawn with fromEnd/toEnd in Obsidian get SVG arrow markers pointing toward the target node. Bidirectional and undirected edges render without arrowheads.

Embedding a canvas in a note

Embed a published canvas inline inside any markdown note:

![[My Board__website]]
![[My Board__website.canvas]]

Obsidian sometimes inserts the full vault-relative path when you use its link picker — that works too:

![[blog/My Board__website.canvas|My Board__website]]

The canvas renders as a fully interactive block — pan, zoom, wide mode, and all — right inside the note body. The canvas must be published (via the __website filename suffix) for the embed to resolve; if it isn't, the syntax is left as-is in the output.

Regular wiki-links ([[My Board__website.canvas]]) also resolve correctly — InkStone strips the path prefix, .canvas extension, and __website marker from both the URL and the displayed link text automatically.
