Just a really quick question relating to GitHubs function to take a README file and display it on any repository. I know it uses this repository to do it, but was wondering if supplied without any extension (i.e. README not README.markdown) whether it does any form of formatting at all.

Thanks

When your README is just called README, the only thing GitHub does is turn URLs into links.
