2021-02-12Unify the markdown links to the NOTES and README filesDr. Matthias St. Pierre
In many locations, the files have been converted to markdown syntactically, but don't utilize the power of markdown yet. Here, instead of just repeating the file name, the markdown link now shows the title of the document. Additionally, the notes are now reference in the same order in both the README and the INSTALL file.

2021-02-12Revise some renamings of NOTES and README filesDr. Matthias St. Pierre
Some of the notes and readme files have been converted to markdown format recently and renamed during this process. While adding the .md extension was a natural step, switching to mixed cases was not a change to the better, it gives them a ragged appearance: NOTES.ANDROID => NOTES-Android.md NOTES.DJGPP => NOTES-DJGPP.md NOTES.PERL => NOTES-Perl.md NOTES.UNIX => NOTES-Unix.md NOTES.VMS => NOTES-VMS.md NOTES.VALGRIND => NOTES-Valgrind.md NOTES.WIN => NOTES-Windows.txt README.ENGINE => README-Engine.md README.FIPS => README-FIPS.md Moreover, the NOTES-Windows.txt file is the only file which has been converted to markdown but has received a .txt file extension. This doesn't make sense, because the OpenSSL users on Windows will need to read the other markdown documents as well. Since they are developers, we can trust them to be able to associate their favorite editor with the .md extension. In fact, having a comment at the beginning of the file saying that it is in markdown format but we didn't dare to add the correct extension in order not to overwhelm our Windows users can be interpreted either as unintentionally funny or disrespectful ;-) This commit suggests the following more consistent renaming: NOTES.ANDROID => NOTES-ANDROID.md NOTES.DJGPP => NOTES-DJGPP.md NOTES.PERL => NOTES-PERL.md NOTES.UNIX => NOTES-UNIX.md NOTES.VMS => NOTES-VMS.md NOTES.VALGRIND => NOTES-VALGRIND.md NOTES.WIN => NOTES-WINDOWS.md README.ENGINE => README-ENGINES.md README.FIPS => README-FIPS.md (note the plural in README-ENGINES, anticipating a README-PROVIDERS) Reviewed-by: Paul Dale <pauli@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/14042)

2020-08-11README.md: remove incorrect link to openssl.github.ioDr. Matthias St. Pierre
The link to the OpenSSL Project Pages <openssl.github.io> actually points to an unfinished draft <mspncp.github.io>. The original intention of this pet project of mine was to have a website dedicated to describing the OpenSSL workflow on GitHub and to answer frequently asked questions related to pull requests and the review process. The progress on that project has stalled and I'm not so sure anymore whether it is good idea to have yet another project website. In particular since the OpenSSL Wiki has seen some revival and increased activity caused by the upcoming OpenSSL 3.0 release.

2020-02-26doc: introduce some minimalistic markdown without essential changesDr. Matthias St. Pierre
The goal is to transform the standard documents README, INSTALL, SUPPORT, CONTRIBUTING, ... from a pure text format into markdown format, but in such a way that the documentation remains nicely formatted an easy readable when viewed with an normal text editor. To achieve this goal, we use a special form of 'minimalistic' markdown which interferes as little as possible with the reading flow. * avoid [ATX headings][] and use [setext headings][] instead (works for `<h1>` and `<h2>` headings only). * avoid [inline links][] and use [reference links][] instead. * avoid [fenced code blocks][], use [indented-code-blocks][] instead. The transformation will take place in several steps. This commit introduces mostly changes the formatting and does not chang the content significantly. [ATX headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#atx-headings [setext headings]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#setext-headings [inline links]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#inline-link [reference links]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#reference-link [fenced code blocks]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#fenced-code-blocks [indented code blocks]: https://github.github.com/gfm/#indented-code-blocks Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10545)
