Can I link to a file for download (other than PDF) on the GitHub wiki?
When you link to a PDF file using:
[download this](file.pdf)
it downloads the pdf file. I have an Excel workbook that I want to allow someone to download with:
[download this](file.xlsx)
When I click on it, I need to create a new page on the wiki. Is there any markdown syntax I can add that identifies the link as something to download?
If I need to, I can save the Excel workbook as PDF, but it won't be pretty.
Thank!

First try to create a subdirectory files
in your wiki and put your files there.
I tried using html anchor tag
<a href="files/file.csv" download="file.csv">download this</a>
instead of markdown link syntax
[download this](files/file.csv)
but it looks like the GitHub wiki is removing the upload attribute from the anchor tag.
In the end, I zipped my spreadsheet and had a link to the zip file link.
[download this](files/file.csv.zip)
