Mac markdown editor that saves as .txt

[Lasar Liepins]

Hi,

ByWord, iA Writer and probably most of the other apps you mentioned
will by default save to .md or .mdown files, but that is just the
file suffix. These files ARE plain text.

It's just a way to distinguish between "normal" plain text files and
markdown-formatted plain text files.

Rename your file.md to file.txt and it will work just as well. When saving
a new document the apps should prompt you for a file name that ends in
.md as well (unless you have that "hide suffix" checkbox checked), you
can replace it with .txt right away.

Greetings,

_Lasar
