[ruby-core:51621] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7712] Add .txt extensions to all plain-text documentation files for Windows users

From: "trans (Thomas Sawyer)" <transfire@...>
Date: 2013-01-24 12:28:58 UTC
List: ruby-core #51621
Issue #7712 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer).


@luislavena The `.txt` extension might not be necessary, but it wouldn't hurt, yes? And in some cases it would help?

Also, there is the point of adding `.rdoc` to those files that are using it. Or, thinking ahead (imho), converting them to Markdown and adding `.md`.
----------------------------------------
Feature #7712: Add .txt extensions to all plain-text documentation files for Windows users
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7712#change-35580

Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan)
Status: Open
Priority: Low

Category: DOC
Target version: 


Given that Ruby is now aiming for Windows 8 support, all plain-text documentation files should have a .txt extension. This allows Windows users to easily open the files; since Windows relies on the file extension to determine which app to open the file with. For files that contain RDoc formatting, add a .rdoc extension. This proposed change does not conflict with GNU Coding Standards [1], which only specifies the required names of project files and not their extensions.
