i have a module i named 'version.log' where i document versions as they appear -- suddenly today it appears with obscene colors that offend and distract

can someone tell me how to make it look like a normal text file?

Er, Tom, I hate to be the one to point this out, but your fix list
is starting to resemble a feature list. You must be human or something.

You can name the file with a .txt extension; version-log.txt maybe?

I reverted that part of the patch. Should be fine now with v9.1.1759

Thanks
