Importing Markdown Files with Assets from Bear

When exporting Markdown files from Bear, there are a few formatting details to keep in mind to ensure your PDFs, images, and attachments import correctly.

​
Adjusting Your Markdown File for a Seamless Import

  1. No Need to Remove the Embed Code Starting from Craft version 3.1.0, you no longer need to remove the following embed code from your Markdown files: 
    <!-- {"embed":"true"} -->
  2. Separate Each Asset into Its Own Paragraph Ensure each PDF, image, or other attachment is placed on its own line rather than grouped within a single paragraph. This can be done directly in Bear by pressing Enter before and after each asset. Example in Bear: 
    This is some text before the image.

![Image](image.png)

This is some text after the image.

![PDF](document.pdf)
After exporting, open the Markdown file in a text editor to double-check that each asset reference is on its own line. This ensures the files will display correctly when imported into Craft.

Open Craft and navigate to All Documents or Organize view.
2
