[O] github: (partial) support for Org-mode files

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

Some of you might have already noticed that github[1] does provide
some basic support[2] for Org-mode files. Therefore you can use
files like «README.org» instead of «README» or «README.txt».

I started to use Org-mode format for readme files recently[3]. I
realized, that there is only partial support of Org-mode syntax on
github.

In order to test those settings I ended up in committing various
tests in my project just to look how github presents my readme file.

Today I created a simple github project for testing purposes (only):

            https://github.com/novoid/github-orgmode-tests

Probably you might have the very same demand for testing and want to
join me in using this Org-mode-github test repository instead of
creating one for your own :-)


PS: is there an already existing Org-mode demofile containing all
basic syntax examples?
