Description

### Feature summary

Better Markdown rendering

### What problem are you trying to solve?

I've been using Obsidian for a long time to manage my knowledge bases and view markdown files. The new app is great and I spend more and more time there for knowledge management. The only things that keeps me from migrating completely is the markdown rendered. A few things

- The frontmatter is not nicely rendered as a list
- Callout syntax is not supported (which really makes files more readable)
- Wikilinks to other files should lead me there.

Research direction

Start by locating the app's Markdown rendering entry point and any existing rendering tests. Review how frontmatter, callouts, and wikilinks are currently handled; done means each is rendered appropriately, wikilinks navigate to their target files, and the relevant tests pass.
