Screenshots

If you see something like [[<filename>-1]], it likely indicates that a screenshot should be included. However, the screenshot can only be viewed after converting the notebook into my Obsidian vault. This is because I use Obsidian, which supports internal links that redirect to files with matching names in the Obsidian vault. The screenshots are stored exclusively in the attachments folder of my Obsidian vault.
