Hi,

As we have an "Export" button, can you implement an "Import Markdown notes" button which open a text box where we can copy markdown notes ?
Of course we use the WYSIWYG mode and that's why I ask for this function.

The benefit is inter-operability between notes apps like joplin and bookstack

Thank you :)

Hi @Buliwif,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I don't really want to open up a bunch of requests for the importing of various formats within the user interface.
Especially with markdown, the ultimate goal would be #842 via #2738, rather than providing some specific import feature.

For now, the API does allow the direct pushing of markdown content when creating/updating pages. Alternatively, you could temporarily change the editor option to be markdown for a bit, while importing your content.
