Has anyone tried to translate files from MarkdownPad?

Question

Hello all, 
 I have a client who has sent me files from an application called MarkdownPad. The file extension is .md and I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to translate these in Studio? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
 Best, Mindy

Hi Mindy, 
 Yep... I did this at the ATA last year to show someone how to do it. Scroll down a little in this article and you should get the info you need:

Hi Mindy,

 This is definitely an encoding issue. Here's another article for you to review: 
 
 On the regex, try these: 
 Opening (?<=\s)_(?=\w+_) 
 Closing (?<!_)_(?=\s) 
 The \* was the bit you needed to replace as this was looking for the star symbol in my article.

Hi Beatriz, 
 
Doh... completely forgot when I read your other post that *.md was a markdown filetype! Sorry, will go and update that one in a minute. 
 
However, it would still be useful to have a sample. The idea here is that the regex filetype will take everything as translatable, and then you specific which parts you don't want to be translated by using regular expressions. 
 
Make sense?
