We are expanding support of lightweight formatting to include additional Markdown syntax features. This includes strikethrough formatting and nested lists. To get started, explore these new options in the formatting toolbar, keyboard shortcuts, or by editing the Markdown syntax directly.

Fortunately this has already been patched but still, what a fuckup
Woohoo! We're gonna party like it's 1992.
So why did the get rid of Wordpad?
Looks like shit
Or I could just use the same version of notepad++ I've been using for idk how many years.
Fuck microslop and they lack of testing on anything they push out.
I thought it already did, and that's why it was dangerous.
And take even longer to launch than it already does. No thanks. A text editor should be a simple text editor. If I wanted anything more complex, I'd use LaTeX.
Personally, I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don't have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the "new" versions of these apps that come with Windows 11 or leave them and have both. I personally uninstall them.
I even set up these "classic" apps to be my defaults where the "new" versions were before. Everything works perfectly.
For those interested, I wrote a guide on how to do this manually yourself: https://pastebin.com/1WAs38AP
The innovation powerhouse ladies and gentleman 🤣 bravo ms (slow-clap...)
This would be nice if they hadn't also included AI slop into it.
Wait, this is old news.
It's a text editor how could it not support markdown?
I wish TextEdit supported markdown 🥹
A headline and some bulletpoints, wow.
Wake me up if it supports pretty code syntax highlighting (like Dillinger), internal linking (like Silverbullet or Obsidian), tagging, table of contents for headlines and a proper advanced search for content.
It doesn't even need to have the advanced stuff like graphs, content embedding, scripting and theming.
