What file formats are accepted?
Most of the information in the QRD is ASCII text, and this is definitely our preferred format. ASCII text is easily accessible by all users, and is easy for our search engine to index. Since the start of 1995, we’ve been adding more and more hypertext to the QRD, some of it composed, and some of it automatically generated; these files are in HTML. FTP users finding “index.html” files in the text directories should ignore them. The QRD also stores a small number of files in other formats, including GIF, JPEG, and PDF. If you have questions or a special need for your submission, by all means write to us at staff@qrd.org and we’ll work something out.
