[github](http://github.com) has an org-mode parser for their README
files, but I always thought it didn't handle `#+BEGIN_SRC` and
`#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE` style blocks. And I'm not wrong, but it does handle
`:` blocks.

So this won't work:

```
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  This is an example
#+END_EXAMPLE
```

But this will:

```
: This is an example
```

That was a nice surprise for me, because I prefer org-mode for almost
all of my documents.
