change file format

[kosakepferd]

Can someone explain to me what it does when I change the format of txt files to markdown?
And then do I have to change the file extension to md as well?

Thanks for helping!

It changes the way Markor presents it to you. The syntax highlighter, buttons and view-mode then uses i.e. the plaintext format - so only generic things. You don't have to change the filename/extension for changing/reverting the filetype selection. Nothing bad that can happen, you can always go back to Markdown for that file again.

Okay. And is it possible to convert multiple files (in my case over 500 files) from txt to markdown?

if you mean by "convert" just to make it load in Markdown format: By mass renaming files to .md file extension should be the easiest option in this case. There are sure some tools/applications that can do this in no time.
