Replace README.txt with README.md

Thank you, but the 8.x-1.x branch is not supported because Drupal core has some (limited) date field support.

Can we use it in 7x version to change the Readme txt to Readme md format.

Sure.

Recent commit in the branch 3318896-replace-txt.
Please review it.

This needs further work to use the Markdown format properly, e.g. instead of having links in a separate "References" section they should be inline.

Updated the references section with markdown format Links.
Please review it.

Hi, i'll review it. XD

I reviewed this issue, and the changes maded by @Manoj Raj.R look like ok to me, and attends the patterns asked by @DamienMcKenna at #11.
And i didn't have any problem to apply this patch, so i'll move this issue to RTBC.

This needs some work to use the Markdown format better, e.g. instead of having a separate "references" section each link should be inline. Also, the bulleted list for the submodules list needs to be reformatted.

The patch works fine and moving it to RTBC.

1. Please don't create a new merge request when the maintainer asks for changes to an existing merge request. Instead, please update the existing merge request with the requested changes.
2. Please don't post screenshots of merge requests applying and saying "works fine", that is a waste of time. Instead, please review the merge request's changes and see if it includes the changes requested by the maintainer.

Setting this back to "needs work" as none of my feedback was considered.

Hello @DamienMcKenna,
Hope you are doing well. Updated the Readme.md file as per the README.md template.
Kindly review the changes.
Thank you.

Reviewed MR!18, the patch is not cleanly applied.

Hi bharath-kondeti

I reviewed your changes in MR!18 and missing the "modules" text in ## Related section. The format for the Related section is wrong it should be
[Calendar](http://drupal.org/project/calendar) so it's easy to visit the Calendar module and other modules that are in the Related section. As per comment #33 Table of contents is not following README.md.

Thank you.

Hi

I applied the updated MR !18, and it replaced the README.txt file with README.md with the content below

# Date

The Date module suite provides an API for handling date values, a field for
Drupal 7's Field API system, and a wealth of submodules for various purposes.
