OTHERWISE using github will should avoid having to convert to Unix and allow better control over licensing and versions - not to mention it could be set up so others can report bugs and fixes easily. | |

I agree, don't split it up. I think the situation where a single author should write two distinct and each wholly self-contained answers is fairly rare - and (down)voting will take care of abuses anyways. | |

| Aug 22, 2017 at 11:25 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | I would say, it is better parts of the answer, like scripts, are outside the site, rather than split in to two half answers. The issue would be the voting, you could be getting double votes up or down on a single answer. Also, both parts of the answer would not appear after each other in the list, depending on there sorting, a user could find the second part, think it is nonsense and vote it down. IMO it just does not fit the sites format. An alternative would be to write two related answers, that can also stand alone, it would be difficult but allowed. | |
