- Saving is as plain markdown. But you can export to a variety of formats (they use pandoc)
- There is a setting for copy/paste to use markdown vs plain text
- Pasting into word would be as HTML since word is rich text

Do you mean markdown vs rich text? Or can it paste markdown, plain text, and rich text?

No, the setting is Preferences > Editor > Default copy behavior
When i turn it off (default) and copy/paste into notepad it only pastes plain text with no markdown.
When i turn it on and copy paste into notepad it retains the markdown formatting characters (*'s, ```'s and etc...)
Pasting into MS Word (a rich text editor) always pastes as rich text regardless of the setting

Shift-[Cmd/Ctrl]-C seems to always copy markdown plaintext.

Your questions lead me to believe you would be someone ideal for trying out their beta and providing your feedback.
- When I save the document, is it just plain markdown as text?
- If I copy and paste it into an input element in my browser that expects markdown, will it be copying just plaintext markdown?
- What if I copy and paste it into something like Microsoft Word?
If the creator is listening, I have some comments for your site:
- I tried clicking/typing on the opening page before realizing I had to scroll down.
- I eventually found that there were some clickable words that changed displayed images, but it wasn't obvious.
- After finding I could click some words, I expected to be able to click the menu options under 'Accessibility' and found it a bit ironic that they weren't clickable.
On the positive side:
- The moving image showing a user typing markdown in and the text transforming is awesome and looks great.
This looks pretty but I can't see myself using it much, I'm usually writing markdown in vim.
Anyone know of a vim plugin to split the window to a live preview for markdown? It is pretty much readable as plain text, but it would be nice to see a preview to know if I've made an error in the markup.
