| Rich text formatting greatly enhances the readability of text, especially in large complex documents. | ||
| Without the ability to format text, it could easily become cumbersome to read, negatively effecting the accessability of the Cardano constitution. | ||

We might want to think about addressing different languages here - since the constitution is likely to use English as the standard, and translations (especially automatic) could change the meaning of the constitution. Is something like a universal warning about the translation issue appropriate here?

that is a great point, we should consider this
im unsure the best approach for this

for the purpose of hashing, should a .txt file type be mandated to ensure there's no metadata included in the hash? We've also talked about the concern of special characters - I think this needs further conversation, but might be worthwhile to consider.

to me a .txt sounds fine, I left it open incase other people had strong feelings for a specific format

| When supplying a constitution hash digest to chain, the algorithm used MUST be Blake2b-256. | ||
| Before creating a hash digest the constitution plain text must be in its raw un-rendered format. | ||

While I agree that a standard algorithm is likely best, to address making changes, we might be able to require that the algorithm is specified in the constitution update governance action, and therefore any of a set (that might be specified here?) could be used.

the algorithm is specified in the constitution update governance action
This would make it tricky to be able to discover the current hash algorithm
