This and just use it instead of a .pdf.. stay libre make it work for all platforms of all ages and all over the world...

no rtf nothing needs to be fancy

a canonical .txt resource, is parseable and universal. Don't restrict your audience. For example:

If a repo has a .txt backup of some changelog it's therefore not tied to whatever platform.. The repo is a living project and memory.. don't assume anything: ( ie if for some reason your a/c is gone... that information is not lost its saved forever... )

usually if I must reference a pdf it means a browser.. And often I don't want a browser running..
