Org-mode syntax highlighting
Problem to solve
Syntax highlighting in markdown READMEs is indispensible. We should support this in org-mode too.
Intended users
Further details
Org-mode is a very popular format in the FOSS world, and is arguably more powerful than markdown. Unlike markdown, it has a single, cohesive implementation that should be easy to adapt to.
Proposal
Extract the language from #+begin_src blocks, and use the rouge ruby gem to highlight the code.
Documentation
A url to org-mode docs should be enough, since org-mode is extensively documented. Or a side-note saying that #+begin_src <lang> blocks work the same as ``` blocks in markdown.
