Newbie question: Drawbacks to setting content file extension to md?

Hello,

Novice to Kirby here; literally only heard of Kirby 4 days ago! Playing with a local installation and going through the Guide and Youtube playlist right now, but have a question I haven’t been able to find a clear answer to yet, either in the Docs or here.

Are there any particular drawbacks to setting content file extension to md?

I use Markdown everywhere, and would prefer to be able to work with all my Kirby documents as Markdown documents, but I’ve learned the hard way that, sometimes, enabling optional settings can result in problems that are not immediately obvious to a newbie, hence asking before I jump in both feet and regretting it later!

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Kirby and the forum.

Never heard of any problems with using the .md extension, although I have no idea how many people have actually switched to using that extension. It is an option that should not get you into trouble.

Thank you for the welcome and quick response @texnixe!

Awesome, that’s great to know, thanks! :blush:
