Streaks: The to-do list that helps you form good habits. For iPhone, iPad and Mac.
I’ve been asked a few times recently what the recommended UTI is for Markdown-formatted text and text files. Here’s the answer:
net.daringfireball.markdown
, which conforms to public.plain-text
. The encoding should always be UTF-8.
Now that a lot of Mac and iOS software have built-in support for Markdown, it’d be less confusing if everyone used the same UTI.
Update March 2014: Originally, I recommended that the net.daringfireball.markdown
UTI should conform to public.text
, but public.plain-text
is a better choice.
