I'm interested in migrating from Notion to Logseq. For that I don't just want to have each page as a separate Markdown document , but also to use the following method of linking to pages.

Instead of page title, each page should be listed as [[page title]].

This way users of Obsidian or Logseq (as well as a dozen other apps that now use this standard), will be able to import the MD files and jump from document to document rather than linking back to Notion.

I don't see [[page title]] being rendered by markdown editors. May I know what it signifies?

The concept is simple. If i have a page in the same folder with the title "dogs" and I write [[dogs]] in any markdown document in that same folder, it will automatically link to that page.

This was developed by a new category of app called "tools-for-thought" which can be thought of as personal wikis. Roam was the first widely adopted one, then Obsidian and Logseq followed, now there are literally dozens of such apps out, and other markdown rendering apps such as Drafts (on mac and iOS) have also adopted the standard. Not all of them use Markdown files, but the two most popular ones (Obsidian and Logseq) do.

Actually, talking about Obsidian gave me an idea. I see that there is already a Notion import tool for that. It might work better for me...
