Notepads new file/tab can only default to .txt file, you'd need to save it as .md first before you can use markdown.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Since Notepads goal is to be a modern replacement for the old archaic Windows Notepad, perhaps using a more modern file extension like markdown .md as the default might be more suited for it, or maybe give users the option to choose their preferred default extension whenever they create a new file/tab.
Describe alternatives you've considered

I just save the file as .md, but sometimes I just need to write something in markdown without really having the need to save it locally on my pc.
I was planning to add this feature initially but decided to not do so because:
The Markdown editing feature Notepads currently provided is very bare minimum. It does not support all markdown syntax; it does not show local image (restriction of UWP) and performance is also not ideal. That's also the reason that I am hiding the feature by default.
I don't want to market the app as a Markdown editor, and I want to keep it as a plain text editor as much as possible.
