Would it be worthwhile to display a small combo box for READMEs that
would allow a user to select the format to display it in if it cannot
be deduced from the filename?
Perhaps you also could "guess" based on the contents of the README
file to get a good default answer? For example:
def default_format
case
when contents =~ /h\d\. [A-z]/
"textile"
when contents =~ /(\S.*)\s*\n\s*[-=]+\s*$/
"markdown"
else
"unknown"
end
end
You could also tally how often users change the combo and use the most
frequently chosen format as the default.
It would make reading READMEs so much better.
