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 9y agoYeah, looks like the submitter was not the author.
- komali2 9y 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 9y 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).
