* Petite Abeille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2008-02-03 17:55]: > 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. [RFC 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 [RFC 2046] explicitly says they should treat any unknown `text/*` MIME type as `text/plain`.
