Don, Windows Explorer can preview md files if PowerToys is installed.

As Horst said, XY can't use that preview though.

E.g.:

This happens if you disable the md preview for text files and add it to office files...

Unfortunately it looks XY doesn't handle it.
It shows a black screen or gets an unhandled exception.
Other tools like Explorer, Everything and Total Commander use it.
@Horst: Can you please show where you integrate Power Toys into XYplorer?
And did you try Quicklook as an alternative?

Under Preview / Previewed Formats
I removed Markdown from the Text Files and added it in Office Files.

QuickLook is not necessary for me.
I have Total Commander which has its own Markdown Lister plugin
and also can use the Power Toys md previewer.
With a button in XY I can use all Total Commander Lister plugins.
