How to Import and Export Markdown Files in Apple Notes

Apple Notes has added new Markdown support, allowing you to easily import and export files in the popular plain text formatting language. You can bring existing Markdown files into Notes while preserving formatting like headings, links, and lists, or export Notes content as Markdown for use in other apps. Here's how to import and export Markdown files in Apple Notes.
