@EpsilonTime Yeah, Markdown. It's the same as the text editor here in the timeline uses. So it's plain text with a bit of styling.

There are som variables, but these are the basics:

# Heading 1

## Heading 2

(etc.)

**Two asterisks around stuff for bold.**

_One asterisk or underscore around stuff for italics._

* Start a line with an asterisk like this (or a dash) to make lists.

[This is the visible text in hyperlinks](https://link.com)

> Start with this to make block quotes

I really like it, as it's quick to type, and easy to edit and transfer from program to program. And you never get that "Uhm, do I type bold or not now?", as you know where the double asterisks are. :) I've always liked styling and emphasis when I type, so .txt becomes a bit too rough for me, heh.

Do you know if all the old files just get the current date when I import?

I sadly don't know how you "import files" here. Here's what I did when I moved my stuff over with Ulysses:

  1. I had the plain text files I wanted to publish on Micro.blog (from Wordpress) in a folder I chose.

  2. I added that folder in Ulysses as an "external folder".

  3. I clicked on the file (called "sheets" in Ulysses, as you can combine different files to one text - so you can move around chapters and stuff) I wanted to publish, and hit "Publish".

  4. Then I could choose if I wanted it to go out now, or if I wanted to "Schedule". Then I chose to schedule, but the date I set was back in time (the original date).

This worked perfectly. 👍🏻 But there might be better, and less manual, ways to do it!
