Import Markdown questions usually focus on formula display, format retention, and insertion position control; this FAQ includes 3 common answers and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why does a LaTeX formula appear as source text after I import Markdown?
- In the current Import Markdown workflow, LaTeX formula content may appear as source text after import.
- If you need a rendered formula in the document, add it again after import with the formula tools under Insert.
- Then review the display result and adjust it for the current document.
What should I do if some formatting does not look right after import?
- Check whether the original
.mdfile uses standard Markdown syntax, such as heading levels, list indentation, and code block markers. - Import the file again and review headings, lists, quotes, or code blocks.
- For parts that do not convert fully, adjust the formatting manually in the document.
Can I import a Markdown file into a document that already has content?
- Yes. Place the cursor where you want to insert the Markdown content first.
- Then use
/markdown, the top menu, or drag and drop to run the import. - The imported content is inserted at the current cursor position instead of replacing the entire existing document.
