…umentWithMarkdown When replaceDocumentWithMarkdown deletes existing content, the Google Docs API always leaves one trailing paragraph that cannot be removed. If that paragraph has bullet list membership or text formatting from the old content, all subsequently inserted text inherits those properties, corrupting the new document (e.g., every paragraph becomes a bullet list item). After the delete, re-read the document to locate the survivor, then strip its bullet membership (deleteParagraphBullets) and reset text styles before inserting the new markdown content.
