Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I noticed that some of the new code samples from Apple include readme files in markdown format. If Xcode is installed double-clicking on them opens the file in Xcode, which is fine, but being able to quicklook them in the finder would be great too.

If apple is using markdown in their own documentation, there should be quicklook support for the format.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Yosemite
2. Download the "Fit: Store and Retrieve HealthKit Data" sample from https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/samplecode/Fit/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014583
3. Open the sample code's folder in the finder
4. Click on README.md
5. Press the spacebar to activate quicklook

Expected Results:
The markdown document should be displayed in a quicklook window.

Actual Results:
The generic quicklook window for an unknown filetype is displayed.

Version:
10.10 (14A261i)
