So cool to see Org mode READMEs in projects unrelated to Emacs! I hope Github improves Org mode support at some point.

  I like Org mode, but the syntax highlighting support is not great: https://github.com/wallyqs/org-ruby/issues/64 https://github.com/wallyqs/org-ruby/issues/64 I have been looking at AsciiDoc: https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference

    > I like Org mode, but the syntax highlighting support is not great I know. That's why I said "I hope Github improves Org mode support at some point." :) > I have been looking at AsciiDoc If you like Org mode, you can overcome the Github/etc. Org mode rendering limitations by hosting small static sites for your projects. You may choose to do so by simply exporting Org to HTML using ox-html[1], or even exporting Org to markdown for Hugo (disclaimer: my package -> ox-hugo)[2]. I mean, if you like using Org mode, and Github et al don't see the value in improving support for that, don't use them to render Org mode docs :) [1]: https://eless.scripter.co/ https://eless.scripter.co/ [2]: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/ https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/

      The problem isnt the quality of GitHub with Org-Mode. The problem is that the GitHub syntax highlighter, PrettyLights, is closed source: https://github.com/github/pages-gem/issues/160 https://github.com/github/pages-gem/issues/160 So you cant get consistent results between github.com and github.io
