When you link to a PDF file using:
[download this](file.pdf)
it downloads the pdf file. I have an excel workbook that I'd like to allow someone to download using:
[download this](file.xlsx)
When I click it, it takes me to create a new page in the wiki. Is there any markdown syntax I can add that identifies the link as something to download?
If I have to, I can save the excel workbook as a PDF, but it's not going to be pretty.
Thank you!
First, try making a files subdirectory in your wiki, and putting your files in there.
I tried using an html anchor tag
<a href="files/file.csv" download="file.csv">download this</a>
instead of the markdown link syntax
[download this](files/file.csv)
but it seems that GitHub wiki strips out the download attribute from the anchor tag.
In the end, I zipped my spreadsheet in a zip file and had the markdown link point to the zip file.
[download this](files/file.csv.zip)
