Markdown export is the option to save a document as a plain markdown file — a portable, text-first format that works in any editor, any version-control system, and any LLM-powered tool.
The format earns its keep because of how widely it travels. A markdown file opens in any text editor, renders in GitHub and most chat tools, can be committed to a repo, and can be fed directly to an AI coding agent without conversion. PDF requires extraction; HTML carries styling the recipient does not need. Markdown is the smallest common shape between all of those.
What a useful markdown export looks like
Headings that match the structure of the source. Images referenced inline rather than attached as separate files. Links preserved as links, not flattened to text. Frontmatter — title, date, source URL — at the top so downstream tools can index the document without parsing the body.
For visual feedback, that translates into a document where each captured screen is a section, the image is inline, the source URL appears on a line of its own, and the dictated commentary is the body of the section. A coding agent reads it the same way a teammate would.
Frequently asked questions
Why markdown instead of PDF or HTML?
Markdown is plain text, so it travels into any editor, any version-control system, and any AI tool without conversion. PDF is harder to extract from; HTML carries layout the agent doesn't need.
Do images survive markdown export?
Yes — markdown references images by URL or relative path. The image itself is hosted somewhere stable, and the markdown carries the link.
