Sometimes I’ll create a new file, but the Preview doesn’t render the markdown and shows everything in plain text instead. And I’m left scratching my head :confused:
If you find yourself in this situation, look at the file extension for your new file (or lack thereof).
Simply add a `.md` to your filename, and now your Preview will work!
BTW if you get a “can’t edit” icon when you try to add the `.md` to the filename,
this is is because you are still in Preview mode. Click on the Edit new file tab to the left of the Preview and you’ll be able to edit the filename.
