Hi Ruth, The behaviour what doxygen does with files with an unknown (or missing) extension has recently changed. In the past the files were parsed as C code, now they are just parsed as plain text.
You can put the following in the configuration file to get the old behaviour. EXTENSION_MAPPING = no_extension=C Note there is still a small issue if the file path in which the README is found contains a dot, then the matching will not work. I'll push a fix for this soon.
