Weird issue with the markdown preview tab

BolajiAyodeji commented 7 months ago

Issue Description

Not code related: the preview tab of the contributing.md file weirdly doesn't exist unlike README.MD making the "Make a Submission" link from the website lead to the raw markdown without any rendering as seen in the screenshot below. I tried reproducing on a new repository but it's not the same—all three tabs are displayed (Preview, Code, and Blame). Also, it's not because it's .md and not .MD (both ought to work).

My guess is that the files have not been updated for a long time (maybe update it?) or there's a setting you need to toggle in GitHub. But this is worth investigating to offer a better reading experience.

This could be as a result of the way the filename is spelled. I'll try making both of them uppercase and see if the issue still persists.

Case sensitivity does not affect the rendering engine. It could be a syntax issue. I'm taking a careful look at both files again.

Yes, markdown files are not case-sensitive on GitHub for both the name and file extension. I did try to reproduce to be sure of this and both worked in another repository. Something else seems to be at play here. Curious to see what you find out, thank you.
