Talk:REL (File Format)

Filled in at Runtime

I notice Leseratte's latest edit [1] documents the padding as runtime variables. In my experience there are quite a number of file formats with such runtime variables, but we don't make a habit of documenting them on this wiki. We tend just to list them as padding, documenting only the static behaviour of the file format. I think we should be consistent Wiki wide on this. Documenting the runtime behaviour is certainly more thorough, but not particularly useful to people writing editors for file formats who may not understand the distinction. I'd personally vote to not have any runtime variable documentation on file format pages. Chadderz (talk) 09:19, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
