The `wxme-port->text-port` function replaces certain text-ish snips with their text representation and replaces images (or other non-textual data) by `.`. Here is a script that converts WXME to text and _locally_ incorporates WXME conversion into `git diff`. Of course, it wouldn't work on cloud drives or GitHub, and the output likely can't be executed. > [@Frustrated at WXME files in git repositories?

They are not readable in other editors. Git can't display them in git diff and git show. But don't give up yet! [Git supports custom filters](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Attributes) that allows one to customize conversion from binary files to text, which can generate useful outputs when working with binary files. Some git implementation already [include](https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/c223c7757745c1df552c0dd4628c368aaea11f32/git-extra/gitattributes#L13)such [configurations](https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/c223c7757745c1df552c0dd4628c368aaea11f32/git-extra/gitconfig#L11-L12) for [PDFs](https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/c223c7757745c1df552c0dd4628c368aaea11f32/git-extra/astextplain#L27-L29). Let's add one for WXME files. Create this racket-wxme-astext script and make it available in you… --- _[View the full topic](https://racket.discourse.group/t/wxme-is-pissing-me-off/3583)._
