Markdown files require a Quick Look plugin in order to be displayed formatted.
Quick Look plugins that use the modern API can't be used in FoxTrot (or with no highlighting).
Those using the legacy API can normally be used, by internally using the qlmanage command line. However, for some file types, qlmanage crashes on macOS 12. When this happens, in the toolbar you can toggle the display type to plain text (this will apply to all files with the same filename extension).
There is a different issue with some other file types, where qlmanage returns nothing, without crashing (the files are then displayed in plain text). Version 7.5.2 will change how qlmanage is called, and this should fix this issue.
We have found two different Quick Look plugins for markdown files, which may give different results. They are listed in our FAQ
