Strange issue with the README file

Hey Zac! Hope you're well.

We recently discovered an issue with SoulverCore over on the package index, and after much experimentation, I think it's an issue with this GitHub repository, but I don't know how it happened or how to fix it.

If you look at the direct URL to the README.md file of most repositories, it renders the Markdown into HTML, like this.

However, the README file for this repo shows the source code for that same page. It renders fine on the project home page, but not at that URL for the README properly.

I tried reproducing this on one of my repositories, thinking it might be something like the <p> tags at the start of the file, but couldn't. I even tried copying the entirety of your README temporarily to see if it happened.

Did you do anything special to that file? I can't figure it out.

Hey Dave,

I think the problem was that Swift was being specified as the language for all files in the repository (in the .gitattributes file). I originally set this so that Github would show the repository as 100% Swift, rather than Objective-C, but Github was probably relying on that to decide whether to display a Markdown preview or not.

Anyway, I've removed that attribute and it looks like it's working now.

Wonderful! Thanks Zac!
