It looks like the file extensions this discussion forum supports to illustrate problems/findings, etc do not (yet) include `*.txt`. As a consequence of this, a log from the terminal has to be added as fenced code.

I would welcome if brief texts could be appended (similar to the pattern met e.g., in issue reports on GitHub) because they carry the information _as optional part_ of reading the thread, like the SI of a journal paper.

Good idea. I just added `.txt` `.out` `.log` `.cml` `.cjson` `.mol` `.sdf` and `.xyz` which should cover a lot of common cases.
