Not sure what's going on here, I've contacted Amplenote support. When I originally wrote the plugin, the slash menu did not exist.

EDIT: They replied: "Thanks for sharing. Jordan just let me know he put in a fix to resolve this. It likely won't go live until Monday."

Hey David

I may be experiencing a similar issue to below

previously, opening the / menu and selecting Plugin: Markdown: Insert got me to the same window as typing {Markdown: Insert}, and everything worked fine. Of late, using this navigation path no longer inserts markdown into the note - it is required to use {Markdown: Insert}

Whether this is an issue or not I suppose is up to you - your instructions do specify to use {Markdown: Insert}, but the fact that the option appears in the / menu and does not work anymore may be confusing

Hi, what type of issue do you have exactly?

Have issue to insert Markdown.
I'm only able to edit the full note unfortunately.

Uptade: @David Trapp, I have issue to use the `/insert Markdown` function, who doesn't work but feel more intuitive for me to type.
But now I understand that only `{Markdown: Insert}` should be used.

Thank you! This is what was missing in the first place, markdown is now a standard and working with it is absolutely necessary

Hi @aerosol0, unfortunately this is beyond the scope of this plugin because it does not do any modifications to the Markdown - it simply allows you to edit the note in its internal representation which is Amplenote's own flavor of Markdown. It's the same you would get when using the "download note" function in Amplenote itself.

FYI, obsidian has an open source plugin that you may leverage. It supports github flavoured markdown.

Bullet points and tasks works nicely, export to github issues. So those are perfect.

Can we have an option to choose the flavour of markdown? I'm using this to create github issues. Write the text in amplenote then convert to markdown.

I noticed, that footnotes don't work well,

[Here ][^1]is a simple footnote\[^1\]. With some additional text after it.

\[^1\]: My reference.

[^1]: [Here ]()

test

The first ^1, is converted from amplenote's (ctrl k add link description). It doesn't convert properly, because the backlink in the footer, does a full page reload.

The second ^1\, is the native github syntax,
