Open or Import MD-Files

[VotmaDes]

Hi,

I wanted to ask if there is a way to open or import Markdown files from, for example Obsidian, so that the paragraph formats and any text formats are preserved? The links probably won't work.

Thanks for any advice.

Sorry, but you cannot use Atlantis to edit .md files.

Have you tried these conversion tools:

https://cloudconvert.com/md-to-rtf
https://mconverter.eu/convert/markdown/rtf/

Thanks.

In fact, it is not for editing md-Files, but for importing the text and format from a md-File into Atlantis for creating an ebook with Atlantis.

Atlantis does not support .md files, no matter the flavor. You need to convert your .md files to a document format supported by Atlantis first.

I suppose that it would not be also hard to create a batch of find/replace patterns to deal with individual formatting tags in plain text .md files. This way you can convert an .md file to an RTF or DOCX file directly in Atlantis. Just one example. The following find/replace wildcard pattern deals with bold text in .md files:

Find what:

Code: Select all

(\*\*)([!*]@)(\*\*)

Replace with:

Code: Select all

\2

and format with “bold”.

If an .md file contains this text:

Regular **bold** regular

and you run the above find/replace pattern on it, you would get this in Atlantis:

Regular bold regular

Thanks a lot!
