With Apple Notes, import-export from Markdown to macOS Monterey seems to be an easy yet simply done task; probably an easy job as compared to all those complex markup formats accepted by web and blogging tools and for developers' purposes.
Exporting to Markdown on macOS (Notes to Markdown)
This is carried out mostly to move notes from Apple macOS to Markdown format for import into other developer applications, documentation, or blogs.
*The detailed steps to perform this are:
1. Run Apple Notes.
2. Select any note.
3. Under the top File menu, select Export As > Markdown.
4. Choose that location to save the file too.
5. Your note would now be reached by exporting it as an .md file to that intended location.
Tip: Ensure to keep the export operation from more than a few notes because otherwise, it may wipe off Apple's note hierarchy. Instead, it will be correct practice to try and restore it thereafter if the multiple-note export was from a larger set.
Importing Markdown (Markdown to Notes)
The import from Markdown files goes to Apple macOS in Rich Text again under Notes, all the metadata and styling ought to be attached with that file.
And this would go like this
1. Find the folder or location of Apple Notes to which the note is going to be used.
2. Import into Notes from the menu afterwards.
3. Search the .md markdown file.
4. Then import.
5. Imported notes will be a new entry under Apple notes.
Tips: Only some simple Markdown formats, like headers, lists, and links really work; while complex ones, like that of tables and footnotes, may have a poor import.
Shortcomings Of Markdown
But Apple Notes turned out to be way more developed for Markdown and is not a pure Markdown text editor in terms of how it will visually present(in no-code visualization from inside application) but in an import-export way -as a file. This makes it less distracting when having the final preview or last edits of contents.
Another reason would be the support for image or attachment types and scanned PDF types which never sit well with Markdown as diverse types of multimedia are fastly proliferating in the application.
Conclusion
This is indeed monumental lodging for so many confidence operations and proficiency uniformity in importing and exporting Markdown through Apple Notes on macOS Monterey. It now presents a seamless way for pro writers, developers, and audiences alike to bring a highly Markdown-heavy workflow into Notes, with access and bridge lines to work-blogs, documents, and even repositories where some fresh new code is going to land.
It thus becomes speedily and most significantly the best means to lay down huge new turf for themselves on Apple Notes or other existing tools with relative ease to fast-track them.
