Would it be possible to allow the .me filetype (e.g. README.md) to be uploaded to the forum? The upload prohibits this filetype, requiring the file to be zipped.
Thanks!
When would downloading raw .md files be useful in the context of Opus? Nothing can view them by default, except as raw markup text.
My lister viewer pane correctly shows the .md file.
In terms of Opus:
- Useful for sharing existing how-to and user tips, instead of copying and pasting and reformatting.
- Useful on script down load page for showing script documentation.
Perhaps it could show inline with the posted message, similar to GitHub.
Thanks!
That's because you've installed an MD preview handler. It isn't something that works by default, and 99% of people won't be able to view it.
(And Markdown is such a non-standard standard that it isn't really suited for sharing the source markup unless you know what is going to render it and that nothing else will ever render it. Each Markdown flavor is specific to the site that implements it, unfortunately. They are all similar but also different syntax, e.g. what things like * and ** mean or whether strikethrough is done with ~ or ~~. It's a mess and not useful as an interchange format.)
HTML is a better choice here, since it's an actual standard and can be displayed on a vanilla Windows install.
