Add Ruby file extension to Ruby from Other Languages #1343
As a ruby beginner reading the help pages I would recommend adding something like: "In comparison to Python, Ruby files have the extension .rb" to the Ruby from Other Languages page.
To which, I scratch my head in bemusement wondering, .. "What possible file extension could Python be using for Ruby files ?"
;) J/K
Perhaps "In Ruby, script files use the .rb extension." is better ?
We cannot use the words "source files" because ruby libraries can be written in C / C++ (as well as other langauges,) and compiled to .so,.dll,.dylib, etc.
@kalpana-ghodeswar I believe this is a mistake by the newb.
The Ruby from Other Languages HTML page is not a Trimble SketchUp authored document.
It is a ruby project help page and is outside the SketchUp API authority and scope of the SketchUp Extensibility Team.

Sounds good.

Do we still want this added I couldn't see it mentioned in any of the pages? It is pretty obvious, but regardless.

This issue should be closed as "Cannot Do".
