[#29038] - [4.0] [RFC] Markdown support in changelog
- Closed
- 3 Jun 2020

- Build: 4.0-dev
- # 29038
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Personally I don't know anyone who uses XML, but a lot of developers/projects use markdown for their changelogs.
What are people's thoughts on Joomla supporting markdown for the changelog as an ALTERNATIVE?
Describe the solution you'd like
- You add the
<changelog>to your extension XML as per normal, but would reference a.mdfile instead - The system would only check that the file exists, unlike the current implementation which additional, but unecessary checks
- The markdown would then be parsed and loaded in the modal
- You would also be able to see the entire changelog, unlike the current implementation which only displays the current version.
If this is something Joomla wants, I'm happy to submit a PR

The changelog is perfect and flexible with the current XML implementation. I don't see a sense about replacing it with a .md file.

@joeforjoomla I never said anything about replacing the XML implementation. This would be an alternative.

If it's meant as an additional feature and does not remove the current implementation OK for me.
(I have spent a lot of time to change my changelogs.xml to fit for Joomla 4 and my changelog reader.)
