Description
Right now the i18n documentation states that make-messages.py "runs over the entire Django source tree [or project,application] and pulls out all strings marked for translation". What the documentation fails to point out is that strings are only searched for in .py and .html files. A few people, including myself, have had problems with not noticing this behavior. My suggestion is pointing out this gotcha in the documentation.

Having a parameter would be most desirable. Otherwise I would have to tinker with make-messages.py
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
jezdez has somethings about make-messages on his to do. I'll assign this to him to see if he wants to deal with it.
Also, maybe it'd be nicer to have a parameter "--include-extensions=html,py" to allow users to specify extensions to check. (i.e.: If you have mail templates you'd like to have .txt scanned)
