How to view a txt file as it is?

Hi,

I have installed koreader because my Pocket Book is not able to open txt files (although the manual claims it was but when I try to open a txt file the screen just goes black, not displaying anything). I'm really glad I have found koreader, installation and opening a txt file with it worked flawlessly. However, koreader does not display the file as it is. For example chapter titles are underlined with a line of equals signs in the file but koreader replaces this line of equal signs with three asterisks. It does not look as nice and reduces readability. Also, I am wondering what other things it changes that I haven't noticed yet.

I went through all settings and disabled Style and Style Tweaks. This has changed the spacing of the asterisks but the equals signs are still replaced.

So, how do I display a txt file just the way it is?

I have found the terminal emulator and `cat /mnt/ext1/mybook.txt` works as expected. And as cool as it is that this is possible I would prefer a way which involves less typing.

Thanks in advance
