It appears to be a direct link to a README in a subversion repository. Are you arguing that all README files should be markdown or something? http://www.cliffo

- komali2 10y agoNot really arguing anything. Just curious if there was a specific reason to do this over maybe throwing together a basic HTML page before submitting to a news aggregator. I'm not making a judgement call, I'm trying to learn.

Articles or links can be submitted by anyone not necessarily content authors. Further I think a lot of people here (myself) included are quite happy with plain-text (it loads fast, it works well with various font/screen sizes) - note also that the README is in fact markdown formatted, so feel free to open it in your reader of choice.
- zellyn 10y agoYeah, looks like the submitter was not the author.
- komali2 10y ago>README is markdown formatted Is it? How do you see that? Or is that a different link? Why doesn't my browser render markdown?
- wruza 10y agoIt is. You have to be familiar with markdown flavors. No, same link. Browsers do not render markdown by design (there is no single standard anyway).
- sgustard 10y agoHere you go, a markdown-formatted version of the article. https://markdownshare.com/view/bc431de6-16e7-44db-ad52-705a2c0618c9 https://markdownshare.com/view/bc431de6-16e7-44db-ad52-705a2...
- lucio 10y agoseeing that, I still prefer the plain text, unprocessed MD
