When creating a new document in Kate or KDevelop and entering some data, e.g. a Markdown text, the preview plugin does not show any preview. Even not when selecting a Mode or after saving the document to a file. Reason is that the plugin relies on the MIME type reported for the document. Right now KTextEditor only estimates that MIME type on request instead of maintaining this property itself and notifying clients about any changes (see bugs this report depends on). Workaround: Best ensure the new document is saved at least once (for MIME types only detected by file suffix). Then either close & open again the file or switch the preview plugin shortly to preview another open document.
Friedrich can you please test in a recent version of Kate and confirm if this is still an issue, thanks.
