Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When editing an imported file, Nextcloud Notes add backslash before square brackets for dor internal links.
Generally speaking, a MD file editor should not modify user input by default.

Describe the solution you'd like

By default Note should respect the user input and not add any character like backslash.
An option could be implemented if user still want this "intelligent" behavior.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Having a simpler alternate editor.

Additional context
Note under Android.

Research direction

No file or test is named. First reproduce the imported-file behavior in the Android Notes editor with square-bracket internal links, then trace the markdown editing path to identify where backslashes are added. Done should mean user input is preserved by default; clarify whether an opt-in intelligent mode is also required.
