Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I don't use markdown I usually do asciidoc and custom formated plaintext. When I open this file the editor impones markdown symtax and tries to preview it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Loading custom exention and .txt in a "plain" editor with no formatting and preview but only text.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could do with other app would be great having a multiplatform option.
