When I open a markdown file with NextCloud, the source code gets modified, for example each - in a list get replaced by a *.
If the source it's heavely invalid, the result is very messy.

Describe the solution you'd like
Source code of markdown files should not change, IMHO.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If this is somehow needed, should not be automatic, but only if user consents.

@nu111 - which version of Nextcloud are you using?

I think from version 26 we made it so that the file will only be written back after making changes to it. So I would like to know if this is still happening to you on a newer version.

Hi @max-nextcloud I am on version 25.0.6

@nu111 So if I got it right, the bug if fixed starting with nc26, right?

[nu111]

@datenangebot this is what @max-nextcloud reported.
Unfortunately it not easy for me to check cause I am running NextCloud instance on a production environment and I am still running version 25.0.6

@nu111 I can not reproduce it. Do you have a test-file for me please?

I tested on 25.0.8 RC2 with this file content:

- testing
- texts
-

But it does not change after opening in text.

@datenangebot

I am now running 25.0.8.

With this source

# This is a title

this is a bullet list with the hyphen symbol

- one
- two
- three

if I open it with the integrated md editor, no changes are made, but if I just hit enter, the list symbol is replaced

# This is a title

this is a bullet list with the hyphen symbol

* one
* two
* three

Here a video about this: https://cloud.nimaia.it/s/5HooJc4JHJrEsQk

So my "bug" report was wrong. I must say I don't like the fact that NC markdown editor replaces - with * but this is OT with this ticket.

Sorry!
