Yes that seems to have worked. Thankyou. I completely missed that sub menu for TXT input. It had not occurred to me that txt would not mean plain text. I already knew about Markdown and friends, but would have expected to need to specify Markdown or whatever if needed. After all, html files are also just (plain) text that just happen usually to have special filenames. But thanks again. I guess this "bug" needs to be closed.
