Hi John, A text file in zim should always properly end with a newline.
I find it very hard to help you in a meaningful way since you try to do stuff zim is not meant for. Without understanding why I can't think of the right solution. If you really think zim is the right tool for what you want I come back to the question why you don't want the formatting. You say you have a strong need to store plain text, but what is wrong with the formatting zim is doing in this case. What _kind_ of text do you try to store?
