Export to Markdown

Markdown export writes your tree as headings and nested lists that any editor, wiki or git repository understands. Pictures can travel in a folder next to the file or be embedded inside it.

Choose how pictures travel

Selecting the Markdown card reveals the Pictures options.

Choose how pictures travel. Numbered callouts: 1 Markdown, 2 Include pictures, 3 Embed pictures in the Markdown file, 4 Export Markdown.
  1. Markdown — the selected card.
  2. Include pictures — untick to export text only.
  3. Embed pictures in the Markdown file — ticked: each picture is stored inside the .md file as data, so one file carries everything (large, but portable). Unticked: pictures are written as image files in a folder next to the Markdown file and linked from it.
  4. Export Markdown — writes the file to the chosen location.

What you get

For a tree exported as launch-plan.md with pictures not embedded:

  • launch-plan.md — the tree title as the first heading, each root item as a heading, deeper items as nested list entries, and picture captions as image links.
  • launch-plan_files/ — a folder beside it with one image file per picture, named so the links resolve.

Keep the file and the folder together when you move or share them.
