Hey all,
If you've ever tried to inspect a file on github with the `.rst`
extension, there's a good chance that you were frustrated by GitHub
providing a rendered view *only* of the file, with no option to view
the source code like any other text file. It is certainly nice to
have a rendered view, but often I want to inspect the actual source
code (e.g. to find out at which line a heading occurs, perhaps to
include a link to it in a pull request). There is the "raw" option,
or you could click "edit", but what is really desired is a view of the
source like any other source code.
Files with the `.md` extension are also rendered by default, but there
are buttons that allow you to either "Display the source blob" or
"Display the rendered blob". There is no such option for `.rst` files.
If they can do it for `.md` files, it seems like it should be easy to
do the same for `.rst` files.
I've tried creating a ticket on github about this, but it seems like
tickets go to the wrong group. The response I got was from the
"GitHub Support" team, and they said they forwarded the request to the
"Product" team. (It's all GitHub to me.) It was also suggested that
I bring this up in a public feedback discussions, so I did:
https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/7999
If you have a moment, could you add a comment, or click the upvote
button, or add some other feedback to the discussion? It would be
nice to get this simple enhancement into the GitHub site.
Thanks,
Warren
