Dear Patrick,

many hanks for clarification!

Interestingly, the situation is the same with Devonthink on .md files. I can 
open an md. file and it gets rendered but clicking on a link to another .md 
file will be opened in BBEdit editor mode. (Some time ago, I could use DT as 
browser on rtf documents, but it is its internal doc format). The situation is 
same even with Obsidian whose document format is .md, but any time I activate 
and external .md file it gets opened with BBEdit :) . (Within the app I can of 
course browse over the internal .md files).

So, my best bet right know for presentation/browsing over arbitrary interlinked 
markdown files (without living preview mode) is to try Marked 2 or a similar 
program.

Best regards,

Tibor
