    If you use the formatting bar to format text, it unlocks the View→Markdown menu which has two options - Markdown or Syntax. This allows you to toggle seeing the source or formatted markdown.

    If you do not use the formatting bar to format text, markdown is not enabled. I manually typed in text in markdown format and the menu didn’t un-grey.

    You can go into the app settings and turn off formatting, which will hide the formatting toolbar.

    I think you really have to work hard to be offended by this.

    Additionally, for those Notepad Purists™ who are offended by any features being added… Tabs are handy. And having it auto-save drafts and auto-open them is also handy - for me. Maybe you don’t like that, but you can disable the auto-save in settings. Can’t turn off tabs, but you can set it to open in new windows, so pretty close to disabling that.

    If this is what drives you over the edge to use Linux… okay, bud, have it your way - and I’m a Linux enthusiast, so I’m all for it. But being pissed off by something you have to specifically enable seems a bit silly to me. It’s the hallmark of fascism - “Other people have the right to exist! FUCK THAT!” - a little hyperbolic, but the principle is vaguely the same. :P (And what’s the internet without hyperbole? :) )

      STOP DOING “STOP DOING MATH” BUT ACTUALLY WANTING TO STOP THE DOING

      • TEMPLATE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY STOP DOING MATH
      • YEARS OF SNOWCLONING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for “greaphic desgni is my PASSION:”
      • Wanted to play satire straight anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “FORREST GUMP”
      • “Yes please give me pictures of BAD TEXT on backgrounds. Please give me BADDIES of it” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

      LOOK at what Memers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the imgurs & reddits we built for them:

      STOP DOING ‘STOP DOING “STOP DOING MATH” BUT ACTUALLY WANTING TO STOP THE DOING’ SINCE IT WANTS TO STOP THE DOING

      They have played us for absolute fools

      Not embracing every bullshit data mining change tech companies shove down our throats is fascism, got it. An intelligent, well reasoned, not at all fucked up thing to say

        Yes, you have accurately characterized what I said and didn’t miss any of it in the slightest. Well done, you. Congrats on not completely missing the entire point. I am honestly impressed by the complete lack of comprehension. Nicely done.
