Re: how to upload minutes in markdown format?

[Spencer Dawkins at IETF <[e-mail]>]

Thanks, Robert, for the update and for more details.

I haven't been able to force a sane MIME type on my system, but it's worth
noting a couple of things:


   - If you just cut and paste CodiMD minutes into a text document and
   upload that, you get something that's not formatted the way you'd expect
   Markdown to be formatted, but it's human-readable, and may work well enough
   for you. .
   - Michael Richardson and I have noticed that CodiMD and the datatracker
   don't seem to format our Cellar working group notes the same way (and I
   remember Robert saying the first time I heard someone ask him about
   datatracker support for Markdown, "which version of Markdown do we need to
   support?", so that's not a new mystery), so you may want to check the
   results in the datatracker and make sure that what you've got works for
   you..

Best,

Spencer
