I chose Markdown as the first project language file for this project (seanpm2001/ls.xt) as this project is just documentation and an article set on the ls.txt specification. I would have chosen plain text as the official language for this project, but the GitHub linguist doesn't recognize it as a language. I will make it an offical language in a secondary project language file. It is getting its own project language file, starting here.
This is an instance in which I am using Markdown as a project language file, as I learned how to make the GitHub linguist recognize Markdown as a language. I found this out when snooping around on Apple/Swift Evolution if you want to do this yourself, simply add this to your .gitattributes
file (if you haven't created one yet, make it now, do not add anything else to the file name but .gitattributes
)
