"You must use the .md file extension for your files. Also, you must use underscores instead of spaces." Why? Are we still using MSDOS or something?

- martin-adams 13y agoThere's probably no technical reason why other than design choice. It may be related to cleaner URLs omitting the %20 encoding. However, hyphens would probably have been a better choice for URLs as Google treats them as individual words as opposed to one long keyword.
- exceptione 13y agoAlso, hyphens save us an additional <shift>-key press. Hardly on topic, but my advise is to require underscores only when there is absolutely no alternative. Which is almost never the case.
- justinwars 13y agoThe forced .md and underscores was mostly for speed of development on the first version of Daux. I agree it is a bit arbitrary and I plan on making the requirements a bit less strict in the future.
