I often work with GitHub repos that use .md files to organize written information. I would use OneNote a lot more if there was a way to open .md files in onenote, ie add a page to my notebook that is an .md file, or load in information directly from an .md file -- not just an embedded file preview.
OneNote cannot load in .md files *at all*, even just to show the raw text. It's disappointing and surprising that OneNote can't do what even notepad.exe can.
My current approach to solving this problem is going to be opening the .md file in Notepad, copy-pasting it into a onenote page, and using the add-in OneMark to try to format each line. We shall see how it goes... there are a lot of lines. 😞
Thanks to the Microsoft folks for reading this feedback!

Hi, in OneMark, you can just click 'Import Markdown' to import .md files.
