Editing files with the null extension #62

Open calder-rh opened 4 years ago

calder-rh commented 4 years ago

When I save a file such as template.html.p in DrRacket, it automatically converts it to a .rkt file (e.g. template.html.p.rkt). Is there a way to prevent this from happening, or should I be using a different text editor for these files?

.p isn’t registered with DrRacket as a Pollen source-file extension, because it’s strictly a housekeeping format. I think most Pollen users (me included) tend to use a different text editor for HTML templates and other ancillary files because it’s faster and the search/replace tools are better.
