FAQ

Why are LaTeX formulas shown as source text after I import a Markdown file?

  1. LaTeX formulas are not rendered as equation objects during Markdown file import.
  2. If you see formula source text after import, the content has been inserted as plain text.
  3. If you need rendered equations, insert them again after import through Insert > Equation or a related slash command.

What should I do if some formatting does not look right after import?

  1. Check whether the original .md file uses standard Markdown syntax for headings, list indentation, and code blocks.
  2. Import the file again and review whether headings, lists, quotes, and code blocks are converted correctly.
  3. Adjust any remaining formatting manually in the Smart Document if needed.

Can I import a Markdown file into a document that already has content?

  1. Yes. Place the cursor where you want the imported content to appear.
  2. Then use /markdown, the top menu bar, or drag and drop to start the import.
  3. The imported content is inserted at the current cursor position instead of replacing the existing body text.
