What MIME type do people use for Markdown?
Regrettably, there still isn’t one registered for Markdown. If my
reading of [RFC 4288] is correct, John shouldn’t have any trouble
registering eg. `text/vnd.daringfireball.markdown` using the
application form at <http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/mediatypes.pl>.
(Most of the “mandatory†fields in that form apply only to MIME
types registered in the standards tree, not the vendor tree.)
Hint hint, nudge nudge.
[RFCÂ 4288]: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4288
text/markdown?
text/plain?
Suggestions?
I end up using `text/plain` most of the time because browsers
throw up a download box whenever they encounter an unknown MIME
type, even though [RFCÂ 2046] explicitly says they should treat
any unknown `text/*` MIME type as `text/plain`.
[RFCÂ 2046]: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046
Regards,
When this came up on the list before [1][] I think there was a consensus
that
text/x-markdown
is usable -- possibly with a URI to identify the Markdown syntax used.
Did I understand that correctly?
