Hi there Tobejazz, thanks for checking in with us.
Markdown (.md) is a format that you can convert any of your existing Paper docs to.
If you're having trouble exporting it to an .md file though, let me know what's happening and I'd be more than happy to help look into this.
Cheers!

OK. What about reading Markdown. Can Paper read (and convert into formatting) the complete syntax of Markdown?
If not, what are the specifics?
- lukeyo5 years agoSuper User
I find that if I copy paste a md file into Paper, it formats correctly. I only use the basics (h1, h2, h3 and bulleted lists) but that all works fine (h3 will just turn into a bold title though.
Hope that helps

Yes the basics I know of - what about the rest of the Markdown syntax?
And, is it your intention to support as much of the Markdown syntax (input and output) as possible?
