Limitations:
Apple Notes in macOS Tahoe primarily supports basic Markdown syntax, such as headings, links, and lists.
Advanced elements like tables, footnotes, or diagrams may not render correctly.
Importing Markdown does not currently support images, attachments, or note-to-note links. Attachments are exported to a separate folder.
