#Heptabase convert Raw Markdown to formatted note card

Heptabase supports two different paste methods for markdown content: Command V pastes raw markdown as plain text, while Shift Command V converts and formats the markdown into properly structured note cards.

Summary

The transcript explains a feature distinction in Heptabase regarding how markdown content is handled during the paste operation. When users paste markdown using the standard Command V shortcut, the application displays the markdown in its raw, unformatted state as plain text. However, when using the alternative Shift Command V keyboard shortcut, Heptabase processes the markdown and converts it into properly formatted note cards, removing the raw markdown syntax and presenting the content with appropriate formatting. This distinction allows users to choose between importing raw markdown for editing purposes or immediately converting markdown into formatted note cards.

Key Insights

  • Heptabase distinguishes between Command V paste (which displays raw markdown) and Shift Command V paste (which converts markdown to formatted note cards)
  • Pasting with Command V results in raw markdown being shown without formatting conversion
  • Shift Command V enables proper formatting and eliminates raw markdown syntax in the pasted content
