From: Timo Tijhof Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 14:56:39 +0000 (+0100) Subject: docs: Rename README to README.md X-Git-Tag: 1.34.0-rc.0~5169^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.cyclocoop.org/%27.%24link.%27?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c0342da8e9a675ce6803d651a781addb801ef8f3;p=lhc%2Fweb%2Fwiklou.git docs: Rename README to README.md The only wikitext-speficic syntax in here is the title. Renaming this to Markdown has various benefits: * Makes the README render properly on Gitiles, Doxygen, and Diffusion. The current README is not renderable in Gitiles or Doxygen. * More familiar to new contributors in open-source. * Consistent with other documentation content we maintain within Git, including all PHP and JS documentation, which via JSDoc/JSDuck/Doxygen have all their descriptions parsed in Markdown. * Rich previews and syntax highlighting in many text editors and Git viewers.
