All documentation currently is being converted to Markdown. This task is to convert all .rst files to .md. See also issue for User Guide update: https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/issues/5338

Files need conversion to .md.

  • atest/README.rst

  • atest/testdata/output/listener_interface/body_items_v3/README.rst

  • atest/testdata/standard_libraries/telnet/README.rst

  • doc/schema/README.rst

  • utest/README.rst

  • AUTHORS.rst we probably can remove in RF 7.6. It hasn't been maintained for ages and we can restore it from the history later if needed.

ToDo:

Include all .rst files on the project root as well.
