About This Feature

Overview

Import Markdown in WPS for iOS is a Smart Document content import feature that lets you bring a .md file into the current document and continue editing the converted content on iPhone or iPad.

Core tasks include:

Open the Markdown import entry from the Smart Document editing interface.
Insert and import a .md file at the paragraph position you choose.
Review imported headings, lists, code blocks, quotes, and other common content structures after import.

This feature is useful when you want to move existing Markdown notes, drafts, or lightweight documents into a Smart Document for continued editing and organization.

Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS provides a direct entry in Smart Document editing to import `.md` files and convert them into editable document content.	Microsoft officially documents add-ins that add custom commands and features to Word, but no official page was found for native Markdown import in Word on iPhone.	Google Docs officially supports importing a Markdown file as a Google Doc on computer, and also supports Markdown export.	Notion officially supports importing Text & Markdown files, but its help page states imports are available on desktop and web, not on mobile yet.	Adobe officially documents Markdown import in RoboHelp projects, where Markdown files are converted into HTML topics; no Acrobat iOS Markdown import page was found.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS offers a direct import entry inside the iOS Smart Document workflow. Distinct: imported content can be edited in the same document right away.	Compared with WPS: the official documentation focuses on desktop add-ins rather than a native iPhone Markdown import flow.	Compared with WPS: the official Markdown import workflow is documented for computer-based Google Docs, not an in-document iOS import path.	Compared with WPS: the official help page states that import is not available on mobile yet.	Compared with WPS: the documented Markdown import workflow belongs to RoboHelp authoring projects rather than iOS document editing.

Overall Conclusion

If you want to import an existing Markdown file on iOS and keep editing it in the same document flow, WPS is more aligned with mobile document handling. Other products also provide Markdown-related capabilities, but their official workflows are mainly documented for desktop, web, or different product lines.
