Common questions about Import Markdown on macOS usually involve formula display, formatting results, and insertion position; this FAQ covers 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Why do LaTeX formulas appear as source text after I import Markdown?
- In the current Smart Document Markdown import workflow, LaTeX formulas are not rendered.
- After import, formula content appears as source text.
- If you need a rendered formula in the document, insert it again with the document's formula-related tools after the import.
What should I do if some formatting looks different after Markdown import?
- Check whether the original
.mdfile uses standard Markdown syntax. - Import the file again and review headings, lists, and code blocks first.
- If some parts still look different, adjust those sections manually after import.
Can I import a Markdown file into a document that already has content?
- Yes. Place the cursor where you want the new content to appear.
- Then use the slash command, the Insert menu, or drag and drop to import the
.mdfile. - The imported content is inserted at the current cursor position and does not overwrite the existing body content.
