Github-flavored Markdown has syntax highlighting for a number of
languages.
From what I can see, Org is "the 'modern' Emacs solution", Texinfo "the
traditional solution", and Markdown "the pragmatic solution".
... Looking forward to Pymacs and similar packages, providing a
markdown README for Github, and an org README for elpa, but also a reST
README for PyPI. :-D Luckily, there is Pandoc which can convert all
this mess around. Of course, that means you don't get to use any of the
special features of any of those formats, but hey, *someone* can.
