I recall seeing (and advocating for) *.adoc for AsciiDoc, and GitHub+GitLab seems to support it too, although I can't find any simple answer for codeberg. I suppose one tricky part is the regexp to cover all formats, I'm not sure '(*|#) Noteworthy ...' work for all? Another matter is the preference order if there are multiple files? This will be opinionated but probably mostly irrelevant since few people have multiple files with different content. *.org, *.md, *.adoc, *.rst, NEWS? /Simon
