Markdown import bugs

I imported a markdown file I’d been working on locally and had a few annoyances:

  • lists didn’t convert to lists, they were collapsed into one line with a bunch of dashes
  • code blocks didn’t convert to code blocks, they were collapsed onto one line with code formatting applied
  • In my text I had a few instances of angle brackets around words as a part of a notation, like <thing> and <other thing>. These (the angle brackets and the text inside them) were removed - this is definitely someone thinking that it’s inline HTML so idk if there’s anything that can be done about this one and it’s sorta my fault for using them in markdown anyway.

Code blocks get collapsed to a single line when copy & pasting within the editor too :-/

Thanks for reporting this. A focus on how we import from various filetypes is on the roadmap.
