Byword includes complete Markdown support. Preview your documents in app, export to HTML, PDF, rich text, or publish directly to Medium, WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and Evernote. The lack of support for rich text is due to technical limitations and limited development resources. We are evaluating the cost/benefit of investing in rich text support of iOS. Meanwhile, we strongly recommend opting for plain text and markdown format for your documents. Macworld has a great article explaining why opting for plain text today is a good idea.
