Future readme file
As Pizza2004 proposed, should we use HTML to make a more beautiful readme file and also improve it's content?
Tell me, what you think about it?
Should we have one, or better leave it as plain text file, as it is now?

Well, if it is a logical or, the answer will allways be yes. Unless someone prefers a PDF, DOC, RTF...
I'd vote for HTML, as there are some issues with line breaks in text mode. Windows' notepad won't show the current text file correctly.

Uups I wanted it to say yes "HTML instead of txt", Sorry for that.tulip wrote:haha, an 'or' question is always nice to be answered by yes and no.
'Do you want red or green?' - 'yes'
Anyway I'm for txt
Anyways, I really I'm not so interested of that, because it holds me back for other development duties on the project.
Nevertheless if someone wants to create one, he is welcome.

I vote for traditional-ASCII unformatted text - characters $20 to $8E only, line breaks as CRLF. This makes sure it's compatable with all systems, as thos that use only CR will generally ignore the LF and vice versa for LF systems. Helpfully, Notepad uses CRLF anyway, so it whould be readable there too.

But how many systems does CG run on? Do they all have HTML support?DHeadshot wrote:I vote for traditional-ASCII unformatted text - characters $20 to $8E only, line breaks as CRLF.

No. Although I haven't managed to get my copy of CKP for the GP2X Wiz working (it doesn't like the new firmware - I have mentioned it before, but the CG team are rather busy atm), the default software only supports unformatted text. You can download programs that do display html, but they aren't as efficient.kuliwil wrote:But how many systems does CG run on?
