Use .md as file ending instead of .txt

[KopfKrieg]

I propose to change the default file ending while creating a note to *.md (instead of *.txt). There's also a bug open on the server component about this: Nextcloud Notes.

(Advantage would be, that every software/application opening a note would interpret it as markdown if possible, currently that's not the case).

+1 for this, because there is also a Markdown editor already available for NC.

Thanks for the feedback. This has to be discussed in the server app since this android app does only use the API and does not decide itself which extension is used.

There is already a Pull Request in the server repo: nextcloud/notes#153

PS.: The main reason why it is not default yet: There is no markdown editor at windows available, so unexperienced useres can not open a note that is synced via the file synchronisation to their computer without installing additional software.

Ah, sorry, didn't know the file ending is part of the server component (but that explains why I couldn't find anything about the file ending in the source code of your app).

Regarding windows: The format itself wouldn't change, just the extension, I don't think this is/could be a problem for windows users, because they could still use the default editor, notepad, libreoffice or something like that to open the notes (well, except for the first time, where the user needs to choose which application should open *.md files).
