Yes. Supports .md but when you try to save back to .txt it does something to line endings that you cannot see in notepad but if you grep your .txt files from wsl like, I do all the time, you get page long strings instead of matching lines. It's weird and I haven't dug into the cause as it was easier to save as a new note but pretty sukky for an IT company to miss something like that.

CRLF vs LF?

1718627440|5 days ago

But this would result in showing double newlines, when you view a CRLF file with an LF viewer, that also interprets CR. This does sound more like the file would have only CRs, which is what classic Mac did pre-Darwin. But that doesn't make any sense.

Maybe Notepad is actually saving LF, but marks the file as CRLF and some WSL translation layer then triggers and removes LF, because they are not CRLF?

Line endings between windows and Mac/Linux have been a problem basically forever. Windows uses carriage return and the others use newline or something like that.
