Thanks a lot for the first version of the markdown exporter. I would like to extend the list above regarding the following points:

1. Extracted media is not linked into the markdown file (at least webp files not). Especially with textbundle support the media resides in the same directory as the *.md file. Thus, it is very easy to just link the pictures using Markdown syntax.
2. All my titles are getting duplicated and linked, which is super weird, see

Original:

Exported:

3. Bullet points are getting ignored. Please export them with *.
4. Also numbered listings getting ignored. Please export them using 1., 2. etc.
5. It would be great if you could just support the standard GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec.
6. Please create a file tree according to the side bar structure in the notes app, where all the extracted markdown files are accordingly.

But all in all it seems to be a solid foundation. Really nice job. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your effort.

Hey thank you for the feedback! I have created issues for all of your listed points so I don't forget.

I have another request: Is it possible to have an option, which disables the prefixed "#" on titles. My titles are already prefixed with an "#" which results in 2 consecutive "#". Thanks

Sure no problem! -> #46

Regarding #36 (duplicated titles):

I've started taking a look at this issue.

Notes.app takes the first line of any note and saves it in a special title column of the note record in the database. Right now I am using this column of the note record to populate the "header" of the markdown note. The problem is of course that the first line of the note appears again in the note text itself, which is why the duplicate title issue is arising. Why they are linked in your case I am not sure. I can't seem to duplicate the linking issue, but I 100% believe you that it is happening. I will continue to try and create a test note that reproduces this so I can fix it. My current plan of attack for the plain duplicated titles is to de-dupe the title by removing the first occurrence of the title column of the note record from the note text while converting it to markdown.
